Little bit sluggish. Tons of bloatware. Display is not an OLED for sure.
But hey for $20 its not bad. Large display, but lightweight. It works better with Samsung OLED TV then my other devices so far.
So overall, I will keep it. However, I wonder if I can delete the Metro display during the opening/closing.
And how many days of service do I need to keep this active? Can I cancel it at day 5, pay the first month and be done with it?
No need to cancel. Just don't pay. Turn off ram plus (settings-device care-memory)and it won't be sluggish. Disable Metrozone in the apps menu.

Qn for Pros. I bought a tablet under this promo long time back, and activated only via the Website as I wanted to gift this to someone sealed. (i.e. never fired up the tablet). After 365 days from this activation, would this count towards unlock? Or did I mess up and should've physically activated the device (turned it on and let it connect to network) as soon as I received?
Think you messed up.

on a lighter note .. if you get a tmobile sim .. it'll work. I did that with the tablet I got in september. just popped in the tmobile sim directly. not sure if it'll work on other networks.

Thank you. So I assume I just need to cancel the auto-pay if I had one.

Already disabled the Metrozone earlier but it still runs a metro animation during the booting. It is not a big deal.
Thanks for ram plus-off tip. I just did that hopefully it'll get better.

I bought this Metro Samsung A9+ tablet a few days ago for $20 by adding a new line/device to my current Metro account. It came with a sim card for the $20 a month service plan. I can use the 5G data plan to go on the internet and watch Youtube.

However, I cannot make phone calls. The tablet have its own phone number. In order to make a call I have to "Turn on Call & text on other devices in Settings to make calls and send messages from this tablet using your phone's number and mobile plan."

"With the Call & text on other devices feature, you can make and receive calls or send messages on your tablet. You just need to sign into the same Samsung account as your phone and activate the Call & text on other devices feature." I don't want to create a Samsung account and sign into both my phone and the tablet.

So this Metro Samsung A9+ tablet with the $20 service plan cannot make phone calls on it own without linking to another phone's number and mobile plan via a Samsung account?

someone on Reddit says it ends today.

I wasn't able to order more than 2 online if I recall..

you might be able to order more if you go in store and you've had your metro account more than 31 days.. and get a total of 4 tablet lines max from what I understand.

Do they change order process?
I know I need to be 30+ customer, previously i was 25 days, it will not allow me to add to chart and check out 0 dollars tablet
But today I tried, I am 25 days customer not qualified, it allows me to add 0 dollar tablet to cart, check out process smooth all until submit order in last step, then it says for security reason call csr or go to store.
I wonder if I pass 30+ day, it will check out ok, now because I am not 30+ days, check out failed but it allowed me to add to cart with 0 dollars tablet, this surprise me because previously we cannot add if not 30+ days.
Do you have same experience?
