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.

    SmilingHaddock380fungameAmusedPanther530gzrecoil

  • 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.

    coachclasstxdfshahhere

  • 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.

People are over thinking too much. Just don't pay and done. If you want to just keep the voice line just port out the Tablet line. Unless they love talking to customer service.

a lot of ppl on the internet specialize in overcomplicating things

anyways i got some of these on a 20 deal like a year or two ago, i felt like 20 is about what theyre worth lol. crazy watching people pay 199 for them happily. theyre fine.

This isn't overthinking, you're underthinking. I'm referring to existing customers that want to keep their existing phone line but cancel the tablet line, you know, who the offer is actually intended for... Porting out the tablet line obviously works, but is extra steps involving yet another company, instead of just calling Metro out on their BS, and having the line cancelled.

Thanks! Yes, that's what I meant..not to pay next month's bill. Plan is to turn off auto pay or delete the payment from the system. So, it will unlock by itself in a year right?
Correct, if you do not pay the next month's bill, all service will stop, cellular and tablet lines, and the tablet is advertised as automatically unlocking after 365 days. You do not have to maintain service for that period.

Am i reading this right with what you are posting that its hard to cancel online by yourself or not an option and you have to call to cancel? Or go to a store?


Will a store give you pushback on canceling the phone and tablet lines? This is prepaid, so what if you dont autopay after the initial payment?


I got the A37 = $45 and a tablet = $20......might try to get 1 more at this price range.


Shahhere
There is no customer facing option online to cancel any service line, you must call to cancel if you want to maintain your other lines. Do not go to a store, they are all authorized retailers, absolutely will give you pushback, lie, etc. They have zero reason not to, no consequences from T-Mobile / Metro. The first rule of Metro is never go to a store.

I just got the tablet. I'm planning to sell the device. Should i sell it as is sealed or activate it and in a months time sell it after avoiding the 2nd month's payment ? What is the safest option ?

I think they have altered the deal (pray they don't alter it further). You need a line open with them for 30+ days to successfully order the tablet. Before 30 days, the site will let you put in card and shipping info and everything, and it will charge and refund your card. It's crazy how messed up and illogical their systems are. Even over the phone their reps seem to have no clue

Bought 3 x A11+ tabs and 1 x A37 in one month's time on a single account opened 30 days ago - iPhone 16e was the starter device ($160) + $20 for each tab's add-on plan and $40 for the A37 add-on. FYI: 5 active devices was/is the limit per account AFAIK. Pretty slick

Dang not having luck here with the A37 phone or A11 tablet as far as being able to use the Tmobile sims I have (I have phone and a tablet sim) as both arent getting picked up due to it being Network locked.

It does work with Metro obviously but want to give this to parents who travel overseas and with the tmobile sim international roaming is free and I guess I have no choice but to keep the phone at least in a drawer for a year.
