What is Trump Mobile and the T1 Phone?
As reported by the Independent, the Trump Organization - which is now run by the president’s eldest sons, Donald Jr. and Eric - has announced an all-American-made Trump-branded ‘T1 Phone’, alongside its own bespoke network named ‘Trump Mobile’.

Donald Trump Jr. said: “Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service.”
The president’s son added that ‘our company is based right here in the United States because we know it's what our customers want and deserve’.
The T1 Phone will set customers back by $499, which is significantly lower than industry giants including Apple and Samsung.

The device is run on the Trump Mobile network and its ‘47 Plan’, where the monthly cost will be set at $47.45.
