Yes! Comparing Fire tablet that I have, the touch on the Galaxy A9+ is bad. I had trouble double tapping on youtube to fast forward for example, and general other touch operations just required retrying. If the touch sensitivity is an issue across the board...I'm not sure even $50 is worth it.

Keep in mind that I even set the touch sensitivity up in the settings.
It's a known issue with the a9. I think it's called ghosting or something similar

I looked into it online recently. Seems like Samsung hasn't resolved the issue and won't be anytime soon?

Too bad Metro doesn't offer the S9 FE because that could be a solid alternative.
I mean Samsung just wanted a cheaper alternative to the iPad out there the a7 and 8 were trash and the s series is too expensive usually so I see the plan and purpose but the tablet has many flaws.

1. 15 watt charging max
2. Touch issues
3. Underpowered processor
4. Me personally it's taller than the iPad 9 and a kinda wide it's shaped very weird. Looks like tjrt just wanted something to compete without thinking it through.

Just an FYI for those with the option to extend for 3 days with no penalty. After receiving the email notification and seeing that my credit card was processed, checking the metro account, $20 was applied to my bill and my balance is $30 due by the 21st.

Safe to say that I no longer have to worry about having an active account to activate the tablet once I receive it since I am good until the 21st.

For reference, and to recap, I purchased the moto stylus deal posted prior, added the Samsung A7 lite deal late February, plan expired, extended 72 hours yesterday, able to add this tablet deal, card processed and shipping notification received today, online account shows extension out until the 21st, and a balance of $30 remaining.

Hope this helps others who may be in the same boat.
When did the plan expire from your Feb purchase?

My phone just shipped today, so I activated it online... But how do you get into account to add the tablet lines before the phone shows up?

I don't think you can. You need an otp sent to your phone to login and add a tablet line

Ordered yesterday. Missed the same day shipping by under an hour I think. Should've ordered before 3 PM EST.
Got shipping notification sometime back and managed to activate the tablet. Got the confirmation for activation as well. Still no ETA for delivery. I will try extending for 72 hours tomorrow/ Monday so that I can at least activate the device and use some data for peace of mind.

Are you able to get the OTP texts to login even after the account is suspended?

Mine hasn't suspended yet. Today is the last day of service. So I guess it will get suspended tomorrow.
I ordered at about 3:30PM EST

Funny how the 3 year old 9th gen w/ a roughly 5 year old processor still sells like hotcakes at $250.

Samsung's best efforts wouldn't be enough since Apple has too strong of a budget offering despite the aging design and older port.
