Former United States President Donald Trump and his family have stepped into the technology sector with a bold new venture, i.e., Trump Mobile. The flagship feature of this smartphone is that it is a sleek, gold-coloured smartphone branded as T1, priced at $499, and is entirely ‘Made in America.’
This venture has been launched by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. at the Trump Tower in New York, and this recent announcement marks the 10th anniversary of Trump’s 2015 presidential campaign bid.

What is Trump Mobile?
Trump Mobile is a new wireless service provider launched under T1 Mobile LLC. However, the Trump Organization has no direct involvement in the design or production; the Trump brand has the same identity and vision. This service will be operated as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), leveraging the existing network infrastructure of all three major U.S. carriers, Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
What the 'Made in America' T1 Smartphone Offers
This is an Android-based device that proudly markets itself as American-made. Its price is $499, and it is described as a ‘sleek gold’ model. The sourcing components of this smartphone are fully manufactured in the U.S., which could prove challenging, as per the previous global nature of smartphone production.
Features and Subscription Plans
Trump Mobile’s standout product is the ‘47 Plan, which offers several appealing features and many engaging subscription plans. Here is the list of all:
- Unlimited talk and text
- 20GB of high-speed data
- Telemedicine access
- Roadside assistance via Drive America
- Device protection services
- All for $47.45/month
Subscribers can also get their old devices or opt to switch to the T1. A 250-seat customer service center will be based in the U.S. to ensure American jobs for American needs.
Trump’s Broader Business Strategy
This move isn’t just about entering the telecom sector, but it shows a larger trend of businesses that Trump is aligning with his conservative support base. Much like his social media platform Truth Social, which attracted millions of users and acted as an alternative to Twitter. Also, Trump Jr. has said that this T1 Mobile is designed to appeal to “real Americans”.
Trademark Filings and Future Plans
Last week, DTTM Operations LLC filed trademark applications for the terms T1 and Trump across telecom-related services, including mobile phones, accessories, chargers, and even potential physical retail outlets.
Conclusion
The Trump family has made a calculated bet on loyalty-driven tech branding through Trump Mobile and the T1 smartphone. While the success of the venture will totally depend on execution and user experience, the initiative adds a new dimension to Trump’s post-presidency business playbook.
