I think you should put not 49.99 price in the title but 69.99 as a new line of 20 bucks is required.

Saw it added to their website yesterday but it was not in stock.
Called to order through customer service but order didn't go through.

Tried again on the website and was able to order one just now.

Better than buying the Costco WI-FI only version for double the price!

Don't ask me how I know this...


You're getting that reply because your browser couldn't connect to the authentication server Metro uses.


Could be an adblocker, host file, etc. Or even your ISP could be doing it.

The simple answer is to turn off any and all adblockers, script blockers etc.

When everything is working correctly you'll see three challenge questions to authenticate your identity.

And before you say it, yes they do this even if you've already logged in with your Metro account to purchase the tablet. It seems they do the three challenge questions on every order regardless of whether you're already a customer or not.

To sum it up, you need to find what's blocking the connection to that authentication server. I found that turning off all adblocking etc, and opening an incognito tab on my phone, which had WIFI off, and connecting through my mobile network fixed this problem several times.

Good luck

Have older plan 4 lines for 100 not eligible to add online sadly. Should I bother calling?
Yes. It said I was not eligible online as well so I called and did the order through the phone. Got order confirmation in an email.

Quote from coachclass :
Isn't the problem with the A9+ more the processor than the ram? It's just not a very good processor. The Snapdragon 695 is like 50% antutu score compared to the next up Galaxy tablet, the FE. And the FE is just an OK tablet, not a power house or anything.
Yeah, the Snapdragon 695 is a low-end 5G chip also seen in phones, being only slightly better than the Dimensity 700. They went for one of the cheapest options to get 5G support.

At this price point there aren't many better options. The good old SD870 is mostly gone and the next tier above is OnePlus Pad / Pixel Tablet at $400.

all require 65 plan.
nothing is flat $40 anymore.
may change, but as of now,
all pricing is changed to min $60 plan ($65 for 1st month)
I'm seeing $40 when you port in a number.
I just bought the A15 yesterday after porting in a GV number.

For the price, can't expect much right?

4gb RAM might lag for gaming, but this for media consumption is pretty solid. Emails, reading, YouTube, web browsing it works.

I've been reading about a touchscreen issues with these, but for the price people can get a solid deal.
I took one back because it couldn't sense touching the keyboard, they have issues.

Big screen but these are kinda crappy. The M10 is built much better.

Gonna use it to save my eyes, instead of watching things on my phone on the couch, use this. When I am working not at home , I can use it to remote desktop into my virtual machine.

Yikes, is that issue intermittent or it happens all the time?

Makes the tablet unusable from the sounds of it.

A reboot solved it but it had some issues, I couldn't type...

I prefer android over IOS but the tablet isn't that good at all...
