I got the same error and figured out how to get around it. Don't use the links above. Login to Metro with your phone line and PIN. Then, go to Phones & devices >> Tablets & devices. I was then able to select the Samsung tablet and added a line and paid $20. Hope this helps you out.

It did not work for me. It said, I could not add a new line.

Any issue that would come up from not activating the line? I got mine today, but only ever plan to use this on Wi-Fi, don't care if it stays locked to Metro.

Metro auto activates their phones 3 weeks after shipping date, not sure about tablets.

I tried this it initially wanted a restart and then was stuck at the T-Mobile boot up logo forever but then got going. Unfortunately it shows no connection or unable to connect tho until you put in your metro sim at which point it's locked to metro
Once activated to Metro using Metro SIM, does the T-Mobile SIM works after that ?

Do we need to activate the sim online like phone?

Or just plug in the metro sim and setup the tablet?

I had to go to https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/order-status , to enter my information. Then I was able to press "activate now" towards the bottom. Finally it's working on the Metro by T-mobile network.

What do you mean can't use Wi-Fi only? I'm able to setup the tablet using Wi-Fi without SIM and use it on Wi-Fi only.

Just FYI, if you want this tablet unlock after 180 days and you don't intent to keep your metro phone number , it's better to activate your tablet with metro sim as soon as possible. Otherwise this could happen:

1. It's time to pay your next metro phone bill, metro will charge you $40, it will charge from the $20 which you have paid for the tablet first, but of course that's not enough, so you still have a $20 due on your account.
2. After this point, you can't activate your tablet since you don't have $20 to pay the first month tablet charge any more...
3. Then your stable could be locked to metro forever since it never get activated on metro.

This exact situation happened to me lol. My phone line expired as the tablet was in transition to me and the day I got it, I couldn't activate the tablet. what an idiotic way to do things. This company really sucks. Guess it's a WiFi only tablet now
