Community Reviews

The Galaxy Tab A11+ is a fast, solid 11-inch Android tablet that stands out for better performance than the A9+, long update support, and now fast charging. It also works well for everyday use, media, and travel, and some setups have used T-Mobile service, eSIM, or a physical SIM after activation. The main catch is that the Metro promo is not truly free, since it requires a qualifying $20 monthly tablet line, taxes, and sometimes activation or plan charges. Checkout can be finicky, and the device appears to be network locked until the unlock period runs out.

Common Questions (5)

  • The fine print says there is a limit of 1 tablet instant rebate per household, and several orders hit a cap after 2 tablets. A second tablet has been ordered successfully in some cases after the first one was received and activated, but a third often triggers a call-in requirement or payment verification failure.

  • Some units have worked with T-Mobile SIMs after flashing or CSC changes, but others remained network locked and would not recognize T-Mobile service. Wi‑Fi works regardless, so the tablet is still usable for apps and media even if cellular compatibility is limited.

  • Both have been reported: some units came with eSIM, while others were activated with a physical SIM. The tablet uses a physical SIM slot, but checkout did not always show a way to request one, so eSIM may be the easier path for some orders.

  • No. The promo applies an instant $250 rebate to the $349.99 retail price, but you still pay sales tax on the pre-credit price and must activate a new tablet line on a qualifying $20+ plan. A one-time activation fee may also apply, so the out-of-pocket total is usually around the plan cost plus tax and fees.

  • The unlock clock starts only after activation, and the tablet is advertised to auto-unlock after 365 days. One month of active service is enough to start the process, but the line must be activated first; if it is not unlocked automatically later, the carrier unlock option can be requested.

If I currently own a main Metro line and add this tablet as the second line, would letting this tablet line expire by not paying affect my main line? (Assuming I keep paying the main line)

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.

only reason I can think of is worrying that deal will end before phone ships. AFIK you need to have the phone in hand now to set up an online account before you can order the tablet.

yeah that is true. I paid $49 instead of original $99 on A11+. So technically spend extra $20 (you will pay $50) but $65 phone is good deal anyway (got phone line to become new customer).
