Anyone getting "Please contact us to complete your order" on ordering a second tablet? Let's me get to the end, even charges my card, but does the same thing in two browsers.

I think they are tightening up their "restrictions" this time around. I am getting more of that now compared to the last time this deal was $20.

Just called to order. My credit card was denied twice; then I tried another card (Privacy virtual card). It was denied the first time, and then when the rep put the billing and shipping address manually (as opposed to checking the box "billing and shipping" address are the same), it finally went through. This is the fourth tablet I ordered; I have one voice line that I signed up for intially ($40 plan).

Many people use tablets for web browsing and streaming video and don't need much space. 64GB is plenty for me.
half that is 64GB is gonna be eaten by the OS, when so much of your storage capacity is used up the device starts acting....not as expected.

way over exaggeration. Mine had about 50gb free out of the box. After installing a ton of apps still 40gb free. Media goes on a cheap sd card. Overpaying for the higher storage specs is for chumps.

typing on one now. Lag isn't too bad but it's definitely noticeable. I may try to debloat and see if that helps

The biggest single thing you can do to fix the lag or delay is remove samsungs shitty animations if you haven't already.

1.) Go to settings
2.) Scroll down and on the left side and click accessibility
3.) Then on the right click visibility enhancements
4.) Turn Remove Animations ON
5.) Be relieved

I use these as my home assistant tablets.

Be warned, these are extremely laggy for some reason. Think galaxy s2 type of laggy. My old nexus 7 is more responsive.

Another benefit for the wifi version is that you can unlock the bootloader and root on the wifi version, but not on the 5g version.

Underpaying for the lower Ram is for chumps. The more storage is nice n all, but the real win is 8GB RAM. Much smoother experience.

Only chumps like you would think 8GB RAM is NOT low ram.

Did you order two online, and two more by calling in? What number did you call?
