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.

  • The tablet can be obtained with an eSIM option, which avoids needing a physical SIM card at setup.

  • The A11+ can deliver noticeably faster everyday performance than an A9+ after debloating steps like turning off RAM Plus.

  • The tablet can support hotspot use for home internet, including setups that use an Anker USB-C Ethernet gaming dock when Wi‑Fi is unstable.

    Left4Deal

  • The device can work well for media and everyday tasks like Netflix playback and reading sheet music while traveling.

  • Checkout can fail for newer Metro accounts, with the site refreshing endlessly or the app cart going black until cache is cleared or a different browser is used.

  • The promo may require an active Metro line for about 30+ days, and eligibility timing issues can cause payment to be kicked back or require calling support.

    SmilingHaddock380txdfCleverKite3150

  • The tablet is network locked and may not work with pure T-Mobile SIMs until the unlock period ends, which can break travel or roaming plans.

  • The tablet deal can be hard to manage if the tablet line becomes inactive before delivery, since Metro may charge for the tablet and commingle funds.

How does this tab compare to A9+? The A9+ was awful in performance. Is this any good?

Did you ever check out? The issue was Firefox browser for me. I had extensions off and everything, but it just wouldn't go to next page. Opened it in chrome added to cart and checked out fine.

any more details on the csc change? is it just a csc change or also the model number change (like u to u1?). how significant is the csc change to the performance?

I had to clear the cache in my app to get it to work. Also changed my default browser to Chrome until I was done as I noticed it didn't like Firefox or one of the extensions I have.

Ordered the cheapest ($25 + $5 initial fee) BYOD phone plan, and then was able to order a tablet, though I had trouble checking out, called in and they were able to put the order through. Have to see how many they let me order...

Ha, the retail stores run the same plan for $20/mo if you prepay six months. Think they may even have some free phones.

Try clearing the cache in your app while chrome is default browser. It might take a couple tries to get through checkout process. It's the first tab on the product page as well, not the second.

Edit: or just, gasp, call them.

No plans of keeping the plan more than a month...

And they have the same 6 month plan option online (https://www.metrobyt-mobile.com/p...phoneplans).
