Samsung Tab S9+ 5G connectivity
It seems that the brains at T Mobile help have no answer to this question, so maybe someone here on the forum does. Why can't I purchase a Tab s9+ 5G tablet with T Mobile as carrier? I can get it wit...
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.
