Trump Phone Home!

So many people bought the Trump Phone. They still waiting on them.

Midway Wrap at the end of the month.

The Trump Media Group announce the closure of Trump Mobile. The phone company that promised to take on big tech with their version of "freedom phones" has collapse.

Citing the increase costs of goods, the company may have folded.

Or a mere $45.47, you were promised:

• Unlimited Talk
• Unlimited Text
• Unlimited Data
• Mobile Hotspot
• eSIM or Physical SIM
• Telehealth, see details
• Roadside Assistance, see details
• International Calling to over 230 Countries & Territories

The brand's creation was announced on June 16, 2025, at Trump Tower in New York City by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, Donald Trump's sons. This date was chosen because it was the 10th anniversary of the announcement of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

At the launch of the company's website it included a coverage map with the "Gulf of Mexico", instead of "Gulf of America" contrary to an executive order signed by President Trump. The map was removed from the Trump Mobile website. About a week after the initial announcement that the smartphones would be exclusively manufactured within the United States, Trump Mobile removed those references from its website after analysts pointed to the lack of existing U.S. facilities for such manufacturing. The T1 Phone launch date was changed from September 2025 to "later this year [2025]."

But the device has yet to ship, despite an initial delivery date of August 2025. And its release has been delayed multiple times since, with no official date earmarked as of May 2026.

The Trump Mobile website is still directing customers to a waitlist for the T1 Phone today, albeit a phone that appears slightly different from the one introduced with the launch of Trump Mobile.

All that glitters doesn't shine.

A representative for Trump Mobile was not immediately available to answer questions about the phone on Monday.

It’s unclear how many customers have preordered T1 Phones and paid the $100 deposits (a recent report from the International Business Times puts it at “around 600,000”), but those deposits are said to be completely refundable if customers would rather not wait around.

“Estimated ship dates, launch timelines, or anticipated production schedule are non-binding estimates only,” reads a portion of the terms and conditions, directly under a header reading “No Guarantee of Release, Delivery or Timing.”

The site also indicates that the phone may never be released at all.

“Trump Mobile does not guarantee that: the Device will be commercially released; regulatory approvals (including FCC authorization) will be obtained; carrier certification will be secured; production will commence or continue; or delivery will occur within any specific timeframe,” the terms and conditions read.

Customers wishing to cancel their deposit or request a refund can do so by contacting Trump Mobile customer support at (888) 878-6745, according to the terms and conditions. Refunds will also be issued if Trump Mobile “cancels or discontinues the Device offering prior to sale,” the site says.

Should customers wish to move forward in the hopes of one day getting their T1 Phones, their deposit does not “lock in” the promotional price, either: “Final pricing and offers will be disclosed at the time of purchase, and you will have the opportunity to accept or reject the final terms before completing your purchase,” according to Trump Mobile.
