Trump Family Enters Mobile Market with T1 Phone and “47 Plan” Wireless Service
In a move that’s already sparking attention across political and tech circles, the Trump family has licensed its name to a bold new venture: T1 Mobile, a U.S.-based phone service and smartphone brand promising to deliver value, reliability, and all-American branding.
Eric Trump, who manages The Trump Organization, announced the initiative, emphasizing the importance of building the phones and maintaining customer service operations within the United States. The flagship device, the T1 Phone, is set to launch in August for $499, sporting a gold finish, the slogan “Make America Great” on the screen, and an etched American flag on the back.
“Hard-working Americans deserve a wireless service that’s affordable, reflects their values, and delivers reliable quality they can count on,” said Eric Trump.
📱 The “47 Plan”: Unlimited Data with a Patriotic Touch
The T1 Mobile service will offer a plan called the “47 Plan”—a nod to Donald Trump’s presidential numbers (45th and potentially 47th president)—for $47.45 per month. The plan includes:
- Unlimited calls, texts, and data
- Free telehealth services
- 24/7 roadside assistance
T1 Mobile will operate on major U.S. 5G networks through partnerships with the country’s top carriers, believed to be Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile—although official names were not confirmed.
🏗️ Trump Mobile: Made in America, Marketed with Patriotism
Although the T1 Phone won’t be directly designed or manufactured by The Trump Organization, the company claims it is being built in the U.S. and is meant to offer an alternative for consumers who value American-made products.
This venture aligns with Trump’s ongoing efforts to pressure companies like Apple to manufacture more goods in the U.S., with the former president recently criticizing Apple’s outsourcing to India.
💼 Part of a Bigger Empire
T1 Mobile is the latest addition to a rapidly expanding Trump business portfolio in Donald Trump’s second term. Other ventures include:
- Trump-branded watches, sneakers, and fragrances
- The Truth Social media platform
- A crypto empire with new stablecoins and meme coins
- A planned crypto ETF tied to digital assets
According to recent financial disclosures, Trump earned over $57 million from crypto-related ventures in the past year alone.
⚠️ Facing Ethical Questions, Yet Gaining Ground
As with many of Trump’s business moves, the T1 Mobile launch raises ethical concerns. Some critics question whether federal regulators—like the FCC—will maintain impartial oversight of telecom companies partnering with Trump Mobile.
Despite such concerns, the Trump Organization appears more emboldened in its second term. While prior efforts like the American Idea hotel chain failed, the family is optimistic about T1 Mobile reaching conservative consumers who are seeking products aligned with their values.
🧠 Will It Go Beyond MAGA Fans?
Whether T1 Mobile can succeed in the broader, competitive mobile market is yet to be seen. The brand’s strong political identity may attract millions of Trump supporters—but it could also limit appeal beyond that base.
What’s clear is this: the Trump brand is charging forward—and this time, it’s in your pocket.
📣 Stay Tuned
The T1 Phone will be available starting August 2025, with pre-orders expected to open soon via the official Trump Mobile website.
