No, you don't have to pay sales tax on the $280 price. I just ordered one. Tax and shipping are included in the $30 price.

I ported a phone # to Metro last week, activated and had problems with incoming calls, called Metro support and they fixed it, after they fixed it, the agent offered me the tablet for $20, so I was able to get the tablet the day I activated my phone, no need to wait 30 days.

This tablet is underpowered with only 4GB RAM. However, I installed a bunch of emulators on it. They are RetroArch, PPSSPP, Redream, Dolphin, Citra MMJ, Duckstation, AetherSX2, Vita3K, M64Plus FZ, MelonDS and Yuzu.


RetoArch from the Playstore is a very old version. Get it from the RetroArch website.
Yuzu can play some of the lightweight Switch games.
RetroArch can run thousands of arcade roms including CAVE SHMUPS.
Get the Citra MMJ version.

Is there a limit on number of order that can be placed ? I opened new account t by purchasing iphone13 and then ordered Samsung tab. Now when I try to place new order for other device online it doesn't allow to place and requesting to contract customer support or store. I contacted customer support and they couldn't place the order.

The first when I trying to order iPhone 13, ask me to call CS and got the order placed. After received the phone and actived, trying to order Samsung A9+, again ask me to call CS and got the order placed. After received shipping tracking # for tablet, called CS and actived it and same time ordered 2nd tablet. Few days later trying to order 2nd iPhone 13, again ask to call CS and got the order placed. Today received 2nd iPhone and after actived, trying to order the 3rd tablet with 2nd phone #, again ask to call CS. This time took twice of times to ordered another tablet(3rd). I'm going to try to order 4th tablet after 3rd tablet shipped.

I am confused. Did you successfully order the tablet or not?

Quote from Namelessme :
I used the iphone 13 + safari to order the tablet. However it quickly reverted to the not eligible message after ordering.

I also noticed with my PC browser that I could have ordered the tablet (or at least put it in my cart), but when I browsed and went back, I couldn't.

So beats me why it works this way. For some reason every mobile site seems to have a flaky website where ordering may work, or not... or orders may or not be cancelled.

Yep. And it's already shipped and I activated it. Just saying I went back to ineligible for other devices after ordering it. As to why... I mention it below...

I also just ordered the watch too, but that was extremely painful, required a call.

Based on what I was told, the reason we are getting the 'ineligible' messages is due to only being able to activate one device at a time. After all devices activated, then one can order a tablet or watch (no clue as to max). Hence why I activated the tablet online before I even got it, so then I was eligible for another device.

However I was getting an error at the final pay stage for the watch, where it said to give them a call. It wasn't the ineligible message, it was a new one about an issue placing the order. It came at the very end after submitting payment.

So... that seems to finally have worked with a a call and order confirmation, but that took me like 40 min with the guy. And like 4 attempts with long holds. Once he stated all was good! -- and then when I checked he placed the order but it was immediately cancelled after. Apparently the system also gave him an error since I was pairing it with my iphone, so that didn't work, and I ended up giving him the number to an inactive line I had on an Android... super annoying. So he had to do it again.

Anyway, I may or may not be getting the watch too. It seems to be a requirement for these mobile companies to make everything as painful and clunky as possible.

Same situation... once tablet is activated you should be able to order another device. Although not sure if it can be another tablet or needs to be a different device. You can activate the tablet while it's in shipping if you want.

If you have this issue after activating the tablet and speaking to a rep... afraid I have no idea what the issue is.

Note that the tablet line needs to be open for 35 days, this is what they told us when we called to cancel the tablet line. Also saw the same policy from a metro employee on reddit.

this probably means we need to pay for two months (not 1), will get a clearer answer soon.

Does anyone know what happens if I bought the tablet and activated on the website (the tablet shows "active" on the account) but then you never open the device and never put the sim card in. If you give the tablet to someone else I know it will still be Metro locked but will it otherwise affect functioning?

In regard to becoming unlocked you mean?

Not like anyone has to pay for 2 months 'just because'.

Thought it was like a year after activation that these things became unlocked, if that matters to anyone for a tablet. But not like we need to pay for the entire year. Or 35 days...

Also not sure why one would need to cancel any of these lines since they are prepaid. Simply don't pay... don't use auto-pay...

"I work for metro, if you cancel before the 35 days either you or the store that sold it to you has to pay the full price of the tablet. Not sure which as it hasn't happened yet. But you have to keep service on it for 35 days for the tablet to be free."

Looks like that only applies to getting the deal in store.

How to get this offer in store:

1. Discount applies to customers with 30+ days of service.
Getting the offer online doesn't have that requirement and another reason why the first post in caps said to not get it in store.

Not only is there no mention of that requirement online, the reps will literally just make anything up to avoid cancellation. I'm a long time Metro customer, and I've had the tablet since right after the deal was posted. Let them try that garbage with me over the phone, and they'll find out really quick how little brand loyalty prepaid customers have. This tablet is in no way worth $60, they're clearing out old inventory. If you're not using ADB to wipe it, the combined Samsung and Metro bloatware is insane.

The online requirements are very clear, the deal is for existing customers that already have service for 30+ days, not that the tablet line needs to be open for 30+ days. Whoever you talked to is being creative, or they're being told by their "team leaders" at the contracted call center to use that misinterpretation to avoid the cancellations. Bait and switch complaints inbound...probably worth doing the deal just to be included in the class action, if that is what they're trying when you call.

Follow-up after cancelling the tablet line. The phone reps do misrepresent the requirement and state they get an "error" if they try to cancel the line before it has been 30 days. Even after escalation, which required 30 minutes on hold, that rep attempted to claim this was the terms & conditions. I advised of the actual terms & conditions only requiring an existing customer with an account for 30+ days, and that this was a formal request, which is also going to result in a formal complaint. Only then did the escalation rep quickly process the line cancellation. I'm still calling this one a deal, but buyer beware, they're going to try to fraudulently get you for 2 months service, unless you are firm.

Not true, a friend first ordered a moto phone deal and was allowed to purchase the tablet after 24hrs of activation of the original moto phone line for $65.
