Samsung Tab S9+ 5G connectivity

I'm sorry, did I not make myself clear when I said that I was looking for the s9+ 5g? I did not say anything about the s9 fe. I do not want the fe. 

Dajack - I'm with you. I'm in the same boat. But be aware of what you're getting into. I too wanted the S9+ 5G, so I purchased a Verizon one on ebay brand new, opened it, and waited the 60 days for it to be unlocked. Tossed my T-Mobile sim into it and up and running! With two big caveats! The tablet is infested with Verizon's GARBAGE bloatware, and the biggest problem is the lack of compatible 5G bands. Unfortunately I found out after the fact, not all 5G capable, Samsung Tab S9+ 5G tablets have the same 5G bands built in. I get less than optimal 5G coverage because the bands Verizon and T-Mobile use are very different. I have since found that US Cellular uses the same bands for 5G. Tmobile won't be any help because they want to sell the FE to people instead. The S9+ is a fantastic tablet, but the lack of support for use on Tmobile is more than frustrating.

To Syaoran, unfortunately I'm the US, Samsung is not selling unlocked S9+ 5G tablets. 

The question posted really comes down to cellular communications radio compatibilty. Cellular providers are assigned bands by the FCC -- most cell sales reps aren't familar enough with cellular technology to provide customers with useful technical answers to these sorts of questions but this inormation is available online. T-mobile has their cellular band info on their website:

If you go to GSM Arena you compare this to the tablet you want:

Galaxy Tab s9+

then simply compare this with the version which is available directly from T-mobile...

Galaxy Tab s9 FE (TMO)

You can get a tablet directly from Samsung or any other seller, like I have and the other poster had, and it will work just fine -- However, T-mobile provides certain high-speed bands which you may not always receive. It really isn't a big deal unless you require ridiculously fast speeds for your specific use case. My Galaxy s7+ (which I purchased from Verizon and took over to T-mobile) receives plenty fast cellular data connections for Netflix & other streaming services, and much of the time I receive 5G connections as well. BUT.....

IMHO, the largest caveat to procuring a tablet from Verizon is that Samsung Cloud is excluded from all Vzw devices, which completely sucks if you're wanting the Samsung "seamless data" experience. Multi-control and all the other stuff still works just fine.

My s7+ tablet operates on the 5G Bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28, 40, 77, 78 SA/NSA. Simply comparing the Galaxy s9+ to my current s7+ it's plain to see that it actually has more wireless capabilty in the 5G bands so I will likely upgrade.

So here we are 8 months later and still no option to buy the s9 plus? Seriously no one wants the fe it's garbage. Who at tmobile thought it was a good idea to try to push an inferior product.

^^^ that one?

looks like you’ll be getting it direct from Samsung.

Samsung doesn't carry it either. They have released it for everybody but T mobile. makes me wonder why I stay with T Mobile

so Samsung doesnt carry it for TMO..but somehow youre thinking it wont work on TMOs network?

Not sure I'm understanding your question. But I assume your asking, why don't I purchase the tablet and use it on TMO? First, the tablet is locked for the particular carrier that you purchase it for. From what I understand there is a waiting period of so many days before that carrier will unlock that tablet and allow you to use it on another carrier. Second, if TMO is supposed to be this great cell phone company they claim to be, why don't they have this tablet, while other carriers do, and why aren't they up front about telling you why they don't have it?

so they didnt bother creating a fully carrier unlocked variant?
