Community Reviews

The Galaxy Tab A11+ is a fast, solid 11 inch tablet that stands out for everyday use, media, and travel, especially at the promo price. It feels noticeably quicker than the A9+, supports fast charging, and pairs well with Samsung devices. The tablet can come with either eSIM or physical SIM support, but Metro activation and checkout can be finicky, with browser issues, call in requirements, and account limits that may block extra orders. It is a strong value if you can get through the ordering hurdles and do not need a hassle free setup.

  • People who want a faster Android tablet for everyday apps, because it feels noticeably quicker than the A9+ and has no real lag on simple tasks.

  • Samsung ecosystem buyers who keep devices for years, because it offers longer update support and fits well with Samsung phones and earbuds.

    YAWWNbruinfan07

  • Travelers who want a lightweight media tablet, because it handles Netflix and sheet music smoothly and stays useful on the go.

  • Home internet tinkerers who can use hotspot or Ethernet, because the tablet can share data and work with a USB-C Ethernet dock when Wi‑Fi is weak under load.

  • People who want a clean, unbranded setup without firmware work, because carrier branding and bloat can return unless you flash and disable carrier processes.

  • People who need a tablet line they can cancel immediately, because the account can be billed again after 30 days and cancellation may require persistence with support.

  • Travel-router users who need a removable physical SIM, because checkout may only provide eSIM and the tablet can be network locked.

    acontrastocoachclassshahhere

  • Buyers expecting to move the SIM into another device, because Metro binds the SIM to the tablet IMEI and it may not work elsewhere.

Easy deal! Just make a new account online, 30 bucks for the first month. After checkout log back in, add the tablet with a $20 monthly plan, tablet becomes free. $50 all in for one, then cancel after you receive it.
Isn't it locked for a year though? If so, not sure if it needs a year of service still, or if it unlocks regardless a year after it was first activated for just the one month. Otherwise, are you using this as a WiFi device?

I was ready to add this onto existing phone line but OOS. OOS for anyone else? Anyone know if it's been OOS recently and come back, and might be back in 1-3 days? Was really hoping for A11+. I can add the Moto Pad deal since that's in stock.

Use Chrome Incognito mode. Metro App -> delete app cache from settings --> Metro app
Can you please elaborate on this? Do you need to use chrome incognito mode to add to cart and purchase? Or the metro app on the current line after clearing app cache?

[1] Use metro app on the current phone line after clearing app cache --> see if this works first.

[2] Do you need to use chrome incognito mode to add to cart and purchase? this is one way if metro app option fails

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I just ordered this last week. Any chance of a price adjustment?

Basically , rep said Id have to return it and reorder . Not sure if its worth the hassle as I already flashed it to XAA U1 and would have to flash it back and also I tried a $20 CB from a sitewide site so really $30 difference I might try to order a second one anyway.

Eh, its OOS anyway.

It wont work, the rep was wrong. If I try to return they wont refund the plan fee. Only luck is a supervisor but best I would likely do is a accont credit which is useless if I do not plan to keep the account going.

Bummer. That's a deal breaker for me. I was hoping to be able to get the physical SIM to swap into a 5G travel router. I could not see any way to request or add the physical SIM card to cart during checkout.
I don't think that will work on Metro since metro still requires the IMEI and sim to be bound (holdover from it's old CDMA days) . You can't just take the SIM card out of metro devices and put it in another device and have it work.

I ordered the A37 today. So, do I need to wait to activate the A37 line in order to get this at $20?
Yea there used to be a workaround using the order number which is e-mailed after shipping to activate your phone, but now you need to get a SMS code before your account authenticates. I have yet to find a workaround.
