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.

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.

I just received my 2nd tab A11+.
open package, insert T-mobile voice sim, 5G data shows up. sms works.
Flash XAA firmware. Disable Cidmanager (this app check for sim and load carrier apps)
Activate Metropcs esim.
So far both T-mobile sim and Metropcs esim work. At this point, two A11+ and one A37 work on T-mobile out of the box.

Okay I got past 1 user error: The A11+ Tablet had a bad sim from an inactive line. I found another Tablet Sim and it WORKS!!!!! Perfect thanks.


Now here is the confusing part; the A37 phone was not working until literally right now and I put the phone SIM back and it also works lol......I am not sure what the issue is/was but its working after 20 restarts and software updates and what not so fingers crossed.

That's good. You should keep the T-Mobile sim on if you're planning to use it on T-Mobile.
Flash XAA if you want some challenge 😜

Does anyone know the work around to access tmobile tuesdays on the tablet through the metro app? I always get the error "there is a glitch in the system, we're working on it. Please check back later." It's been going on since I've received it (over 1-2 weeks now)

I have no idea. I ordered the 2nd the exact same way I ordered the first. But I have the same issue as you when trying to order a 3rd and have no solution. I guess some people got lucky enough to be able to order 2 before being cut off.
Finally managed to order the 2nd one today after trying every 2-3 days for last 2 weeks.
