Trump Organization Launches $499 ‘T1 Phone’ and ‘Trump Mobile’ Service with Patriotic Flair
(New York, NY) – The Trump Organization has entered the competitive wireless market with the launch of Trump Mobile, a new cellular service, and the T1 Phone, a $499 Android-powered smartphone. Announced on June 16—the 10-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s first presidential campaign—the venture leans heavily into the former president’s “America First” branding, with plans starting at $47.45 per month, a nod to his potential return to the White House.
“The 47 Plan”: Unlimited Service with a Political Twist
The flagship offering, “The 47 Plan,” includes:
- Unlimited talk, text, and 5G data for $47.45/month
- Free international calling to 100 countries
- No contracts or credit checks
- Free long-distance calls for military families
- 24/7 roadside assistance via Drive America
- Telehealth services, including virtual doctor visits and prescription delivery
Eric Trump, the company’s executive vice president, emphasized that the service will rely on major U.S. carriers (likely Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile) while keeping operations stateside. “You’re not calling centers in Bangladesh—this is all handled in St. Louis, Missouri,” he told Fox Business.
The T1 Phone: A $499 Android Device with “America First” Appeal
Alongside the service, Trump Mobile unveiled the T1 Phone, an Android 15 smartphone featuring:
- 256GB storage, 12GB RAM
- AI face unlock and fingerprint sensor
- USB-C port and 3.5mm headphone jack (a rarity in modern flagships)
- $499 retail price ($100 down for pre-orders)
Though the exact release date remains unannounced, pre-orders are open on Trump Mobile’s website.
A Full-Court Press into Tech
The move expands the Trump Organization’s tech portfolio, which already includes Truth Social and World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency venture. “We’re building one of the great tech platforms in the world,” Eric Trump declared, framing the launch as both a business play and a political statement.
Will It Disrupt the Wireless Industry?
Analysts question whether Trump Mobile can compete with established carriers, but its patriotic branding and bundled perks—like military benefits and telehealth—could carve out a niche. For now, the company is betting big on its core audience: “We’re going to change the game,” said Donald Trump Jr.
