I believe this deal is just like the deal for the Moto Pad 2026.
You have to be an existing customer of Metro by T-Mobile.
You can add a new tablet plan ($20 minimum monthly fee) and get the Galaxy Tab A11+ for $49.99.
I did the Moto 2026 Pad deal with Metro by Mobile earlier this year. I wa \s able to cancel the plan by calling customer service before getting billed for a 2nd month.

Community Reviews
The Galaxy Tab A11+ 5G is being treated as the stronger Samsung option for people who want a budget tablet with better processor performance and long software support. It is also described as a solid upgrade from the A9+ 5G, with working Metro and T Mobile activation, 5G UC, and a cleaner path to later unlock or firmware changes. The main tradeoff is the 1080p display and 6 GB of RAM versus the Moto Pad 2026, which has a sharper screen and more memory. Deal availability also appears unstable, with the advertised price sometimes showing higher or going out of stock.
The Galaxy Tab A11+ may offer longer upgrade support compared with the Moto Pad 2026, based on reported upgrade expectations.
The Galaxy Tab A11+ can work with a T-Mobile voice line using a physical SIM and it can receive 5G UC after activation.
The Galaxy Tab A11+ can receive software updates after setup, including updating to the latest version.
The Galaxy Tab A11+ can be activated through Metro email prompts, and a factory reset can remove Metro apps afterward.
The advertised $49.99 deal can disappear and the price can change to $100.
Activation workarounds can fail because online account activation may require an SMS code sent to the new phone.
The Metro eSIM activation flow can trigger repeated restart notifications about Metro eSIM readiness, which can be annoying during use.
The Metro unlock process can require a year of service and additional steps like inserting a Metro SIM, then removing it and factory resetting to reduce bloat.

This post is for the Galaxy Tab A11 5G. The tab has major differences including long-term updates/support.
Actually , looking back the A9+ was $20 (free with $20 plan)
This was back when I think unlock was 60 days. My first boot was with a T-Mobile sim and now everytime I boot I get the T-Mobile flash screen. It did not unlock , and I threw it in a drawer and forgot about it for close to a year. Took it out and network unlock from settings worked.

The A9+ can take T-Mobile sim. Hopefully the A11+ too.

I also have the Moto Pad 2026 and its a very solid tablet. It has a higher resolution (2k) screen than the A11+
