  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2025 — Four months after promising a U.S.-made smartphone and patriotic wireless service, Trump Mobile went silent.\n\nThe _Trump Organization unveiled_ “T1 Mobile” on June 16 at Trump Tower in New York City — which marked what **Eric Trump** and **Donald Trump Jr**. unveiled as “an All-American service for our nation’s hardest-working people.”\n\nThe company said it would offer _5G service through_ all “three major carriers”—AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile—though the firms were not explicitly named. It also promised a $499 “T1 Phone” built in the United States and a $47.45-per-month “47 Plan,” a tribute to Trump’s presidential terms.\n\nThe venture was subject to oversight by the Federal Communications Commission, led by Chairman **Brendan Carr,** a Trump appointee**.** The Trump Organization described Trump Mobile as a mobile operator _promising unlimited talk, text and data, free international calling,_ 24-hour roadside assistance, and telehealth benefits for subscribers.\n\nBut four months later, there is little evidence suggesting that Trump Mobile’s flagship device or network has materialized. The _last post_ from the company’s social media accounts appeared on Aug. 27, and its _website_ now does not include a release date.\n\nSubsequent reporting by _USA Today_ revealed that the operation relied on a small Florida-based reseller, Liberty Mobile Wireless, which used T-Mobile’s network. The “Made in USA” label on Trump Mobile’s site has since been softened to “designed with American values,” a reflection of federal rules that restrict claims of domestic manufacturing.\n\nEntrepreneur **Pat O’Brien** , introduced as a project lead, told _Reuters_ on July 31, the phone had received “a lot of preorders” but declined to specify how many. He has not commented publicly since.\n\nOn Sept. 18, _a reviewer_who pre-ordered the $499 device in June said he received only a $100 receipt and no updates. “It’s sketchy that I can’t even log in to my account,” he wrote after a support call to 800-TRUMP45 that offered only “vague assurances.”",
