Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ 5G tablet at Metro for $49.99. Add it as a second line with minimum $20 data plan. I'm just ordered mine few minutes ago. it was showing OOS until last night but it became available this morning. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. don't really need it but why not at this price. Total paid $75 with $20 data plan and $4.xx taxes.

FYI - for those not aware - you'd need to have an existing Metro account to be able to purchase this tablet (or any other device as a second/additional line. Like any other Metro phones, this tablet purchase is prepaid, and so you are not locked into any kind of contract. You only need to pay for the tablet and first month of data plan. Then you are free to cancel the service, keep the tablet just as a regular wifi device. This is my first time buying a Metro tablet but I'm still hoping it will unlock after 6 months just like any other Metro phone.

Warning ? ️ - try not to go to Metro stores. They are in general scammers and will try their best to treat you like a fool and steal your money by forced up selling and forced mandatory accessories, exorbitant taxes, and insurance with or without your consent. Try ordering online. You've been warned ??????
Also, if you buy online, there's no activation fees and tax applies to the discounted price. You'll save yourself good cash and respect and a way better deal if you order online.

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

Agreed. I'm really only using it for PlayStation 5 Remote Play when my TV is being used and the occasional security camera viewing. Both of those actions work perfectly on the A9+.

Yes, some people always fake the price, not the real checkout price...

Has anyone successfully activated the tablet immediately after it was shipped but still within 72 hours of extending their expired Metro by T-Mobile account?

I don't use screen protectors on my phones/tablets. I bought this case on Amazon for about $9 (with Prime). Well-made and fits very well. I'm happy with it.

Instead of asking/worrying about that, why not activate the tablet with its own Metro SIM, then remove the Metro SIM and use the tablet with your T-mobile SIM?

I also bought a $5 screen protector, there is one seller is selling it at $5 while the default seller ask for $7.

I am going to do this after 6+ months, cos I am not sure if swapping with Tmobile SIM now will overwrite any unlock software or Metro won't identify this as its own device later during the unlock process..

Yeah, it is a regular TFT panel. Have to step up to non-FE S series tablet for an AMOLED display. This information is readily available on Samsung Web site and in every single review, not sure why you expected something different.

Almost any low end Samsung A series phone has better screen than this crap tablet.... Galaxy series normally is better than A series...
what do you expect? I would like to return it if it is possible...
it doesn't have eSIM on it as well, but some comments here said eSIM on it, it is shame....

I don't know how much effort it takes to return the tablet to Metro, but you can probably flip it for $150 easily even while it is locked.
