The Trump Organization made its formal entry into the telecom industry with its declaration of Trump Mobile, featuring gold T1 Phone and its one-of-its-kind priced cellular service plan. Rolling out in September 2025, the new phone is the latest in a long line of Trump-named products, such as watches and sneakers and Bibles, to hit the market throughout Donald Trump’s political career. The move comes during a period when President Trump has been loudest in his demand for bringing factories back onto American soil, especially in the technological arena.
The T1 Phone: Specifications and availability
The T1 Phone, or T1 Phone 8002 (gold), is being pre-ordered with a $100 down payment on its $499 retail price as also mentioned here, Trump launches Trump mobile: what we know about the $499 smartphone and mobile plan. Shipping is guaranteed in September 2025, although some corporate releases had initially guaranteed an August shipment. The phone itself boasts a gold-colored bold theme with an engraved American flag and the phrase “Make America Great Again” etched on its display.
The technical specs of the T1 Phone are:
- A 6.78-inch punch-hole AMOLED screen with 120Hz screen refresh rate
- 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage (expandable through card slot)
- A triple camera setup at the back with a 50MP primary camera, 2MP depth lens, and 2MP macro lens
- A 16MP selfie camera

- Android 15 operating system
- USB Type-C port (USB 2.0 with OTG functionality) and 3.5mm headphone jack

Though the Trump Organization has claimed the phone is “proudly designed and built in the United States,” business analysts were skeptical of this claim, surmising components will be imported from foreign manufacturers.

Network coverage and operations
Trump Mobile is a virtual operator, which means that it does not have its own infrastructure but leases out the three major carriers’ U.S. networks: AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. It works in favor of Trump Mobile to be able to provide “the same coverage as the 3 nationwide phone service carriers” without emphasizing its own brand and customer support.
The Trump Organization pointed out that Trump Mobile’s call center resides in America and has proposed to build a 250-seat call center to help subscribers. This is coming after the overall branding of the company of helping American jobs and values.
