Ordered A37 phone first. Then ordered A11+ tab. Both flashed to XAA u1 firmware. Both can use T-mobile sim card. Hopefully they will continue to work.
My steps:
insert T-mobile sim first. Ensure 5G shows up.
Flash XAA u1 firmware from samfw.com
disable CIDManager
Activate Metropcs

No metropcs startup logo
No bloatwaes

I think new existing customers and/or those who took discounted plan (e.g. 120/6months) are not eligible.

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.
this still work? when you sign up for the $30 plan do you need a sim or can you just activate an unlocked phone via esim? or do you need a phone activated at all to order the tablet after new account is setup?

Yes, I ordered the 2nd online. I get the message to call in when trying to order a 3rd. I called in and their system kept kicking the payment back. 3 different cards. I said if I got a message that said I was no longer eligible for the deal after getting 2, I wouldn't have called in. They assured me I was still eligible, but there must be some kind of "glitch" in their system and I should try again in a few days. I don't expect they'll let me get another before the end of the first billing cycle, and I'm not gonna pay for another month.

I have this Samsung tabletA11+ from a previous metro deal that cost $50 bucks total. It is a wonderful tablet, much faster than the A9+. I also have the moto pad 2026 from another previous deal. It performs well, too.

For just $20 bucks, I was able to order another tablet to give as a great gift. Im sure this can be an unbelievable gift considering the cost to value ratio.
I will buy one tablet. Can you compare your A11+ and Moto pad 2026?

Which one will you buy if you can buy only one tablet? Thank you in advance

I really like the Samsung A11+. It's fast, looks great, and I have a great case (which does make a difference day-to-day). I only use it for reading sheet music when I perform on stage, believe it or not. Or when I need to practice in a room away from my primary practice room.
I took it on a cruise and Netflix works great, watching media and listening to the sound - all good.

I also have a Samsung phone and samsung earbuds, so partly I just want to keep the samsung ecosystem intact.

The moto pad is also just fine but my daughter uses it more than me.

The Samsung supports a longer period of updates. I think the moto pad has more RAM / memory but the A11+ is fast enough. No real lag just doing simple tasks.

Am wondering how to get the 2nd order through. Clear cache? Incognito mode? Different browser? New credit cards?
