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.

I just joined Metro a couple of days ago. I can see the deal and add the tablet to my cart, but I can't actually complete checkout. On the website, after I click checkout/continue, the page just keeps refreshing and never makes it to the payment page. In the Metro app, the cart loads twice and then the screen just goes black.

This deal seems restricted to accounts that have had an active line for at least 30 days, even though the promo still shows up for newer accounts.

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.

Unfortunately I had just bought one for $49 plus $20 plan. Bought again now for trade in on a future purchase.
Tablet is indeed noticeably faster than the A9+. As soon as you get it turn ram plus off . Decline instillation of all the junk games.

Can you test it with T-Mobile sim to see if it works?

Just call in, it took maybe 8 minutes with the guy on the phone for him to get the order through for me, 20 dollars for a month of data for a free A11+ tablet is bonkers and well worth it.

Do these tablets need 365 days of active plan to be unlocked?
