Your Guide to the Trump Phone Plan

A brand-new phone and wireless service was announced in June of 2025—and it’s not from Apple, Samsung, or Google. It’s from Donald Trump. The Trump Organization just launched Trump Mobile, a new wireless service, along with a smartphone called the T1 Phone. The service is being promoted as a patriotic, American-made alternative to big tech companies—and it’s already making headlines.

So, what exactly is the Trump Phone, how much does it cost, and what makes Trump Mobile different from other carriers like Verizon or AT&T? Here’s a quick guide to what you need to know.

What Is Trump Mobile?

Trump Mobile is a new wireless phone service created by the Trump Organization. It’s launching on the 10th anniversary of Trump’s first presidential campaign announcement, which should be around September 2025.

Key Features of the Plan:

  • Called the “47 Plan” (a reference to Trump being the 47th U.S. president)
  • $47.45/month
  • Includes unlimited talk, text, and data
  • No contract
  • No credit check
  • Device protection
  • Free international calls to over 100 countries
  • Includes 24/7 roadside assistance
    • This will be offered through Drive America
  • Telehealth services
    • The plan is to include virtual medical care, mental health support, and mobile ordering and delivery for prescription medications

Eric Trump, Donald Trump’s son and a co-leader of the Trump Organization, said the company wants to offer “customer service by Americans, for Americans.” He also said this new phone service supports his father’s goal of boosting U.S. manufacturing and jobs.

What Is the T1 Trump Phone?

The T1 Phone is Trump Mobile’s official smartphone. It’s not just a rebranded phone—it’s designed to be built in the U.S., with features aimed at competing with tech giants like Apple.

T1 Phone Specs & Details:

  • Price: $499 (with a $100 down payment)
  • Launch Date: Expected in August or September 2025 (depending on the website)
  • Design: Gold-colored with the phrase “Make America Great Again” on the back
  • Storage: 256 GB
  • RAM: 12 GB
  • Security: Fingerprint scanner + Face unlock
  • Operating System: Android

The Trump Organization says this phone is part of a bigger effort to bring phone manufacturing back to America. That’s in line with Trump’s recent push for Apple and other tech companies to stop making products overseas.

  • Some wonder if the phone is truly American-made or if it uses foreign parts.

What to Consider

The Trump Phone and Trump Mobile rollout may be worth considering for some folks. Individuals who support Trump’s policies and want a phone service without contracts or credit checks may benefit. Also, those who prefer the idea of a made-in-America smartphone may also benefit.
