Trump enters smartphone market with exactly the gaudy golden phone you'd imagine
TL;DR The Trump Organization is launching a phone service called T1 Mobile. The highlight of this service is its flagship '47 plan.' The group has also unveiled a new phone called the T1 Phone. Lately, there have been murmurs about the Trump Organization wanting to enter the mobile phone market. Recently spotted trademarks suggested the organization was looking to launch both a phone and a mobile service. Those murmurs have now turned into a full-blown announcement as the group unveiled its new mobile venture. The Trump Organization, run by the US president's eldest sons, announced the launch of T1 Mobile, a wireless service under the Trump Mobile brand. According to the announcement, this service will offer 5G coverage through all three of the major US carriers (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile). The highlight of this service is its flagship '47 Plan,' which is available for $47.45 per month. The subscription price is a nod to Donald Trump's presidency, currently serving as the 47 president and 45 president in his previous term. Included in this plan are the following: Unlimited talk, text, and data International calling to 100 destinations Device protection Roadside assistance through Drive America Telehealth services Along with the service, the organization also revealed it would launch a phone called the 'T1 Phone' in September. Coming as no surprise, this handset is available in solid gold and will set you back $499. However, Eric Trump showed off a second, slightly toned-down colorway during an interview. For that price tag, you get a 120Hz 6.8-inch AMOLED display, 50MP main camera, 2MP depth camera, 2MP macro lens, 16MP selfie camera, 5,000mAh battery, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Ironically, the phone will have a US flag emblazoned on the back, despite the fact that nearly all smartphones are manufactured abroad. As Reuters points out, T1 uses the 'Trump' name under a trademark license, which is then given to third-party partners. This means designing the smartphone, manufacturing it, and providing the cellular service isn't handled by the Trump Organization. It's unclear what company is behind the design and manufacturing of the T1 Phone. However, analyst Max Weinbach claims that it could be Wingtech. Weinbach states that the hardware is the same as the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G, but with a custom body. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

T-Mobile MVNO Mint Mobile calls this its "Craziest phone deal yet"
Mint Mobile is now promoting what it calls its "Craziest Phone Deal Yet" which means that you want to know all about it. The T-Mobile MVNO says that starting today (which is Thursday, June 5th) you can sign up to receive unlimited premium wireless service and the Samsung Galaxy S25 phone for just $30 per month. The device features Galaxy AI and Mint points out that there are no catches and no contracts. Keep in mind that this is a limited-time offer. The deal coincides with a huge update that brings RCS (Rich Communication Services) Messaging to Mint and Ultra Mobile subscribers. Instead of old-school SMS and MMS texting, Mint and Ultra Mobile customers will get benefits such as the ability to send and receive longer messages, high-resolution images and videos, typing indicators, read receipts, end-to-end encryption on supported platforms, and more. RCS is available regardless of whether the subscriber is using an iPhone or an Android device. For Mint Mobile subscribers this means that they won't have to switch apps or lose helpful features just because the person they are texting doesn't use the same mobile wireless platform that they do. Mint Mobile customers also shouldn't have to lose these features because someone using a different wireless platform joins their chat. Get unlimited premium wireless service and a free Pixel 9 or Galaxy S25 for only $30 per month from Mint Mobile. | Image credit-Mint Mobile Mint Chief Marketing Officer Andrew Fried might have been joking when he said, "When we brought this idea to our finance team, they thought we were joking." Apparently, it's no joke. Mint's plans include free mobile hotspot, Wi-Fi calling, free roaming in Canada, and more. RCS must be enabled on all devices for cross-OS RCS messaging. If the Samsung Galaxy S25 is not your cup of tea, you can get the same deal and pay $30 a month for 24 months for unlimited premium wireless service and a Pixel 9. You must port-in your existing number and pay $720 upfront for 24 months of premium phone service along with 24 months of device payments. After 24 months, the plans renew automatically at standard rates. Unlimited customers consuming more than 35GB of data during a month could find that their data speeds have been throttled during periods when there is heavy traffic on the network.
