Trump Mobile’s gold T1 phone has gone 11 months without a single shipment. The company has collected about $59 million in $100 deposits from about 590,000 buyers.
The Trump Organization-backed wireless brand has changed its launch at least four times since June 2025. Its new bidding word now says the device may not exist.
Trump Mobile continues
Don Jr. and Eric Trump launched the T1 in June 2025. The company promised an August delivery of the $499 handset, which is called American.
The day passed in silence. Trump Mobile was then changed to November, then December. In late December, customer service guilty the government has closed and told consumers to wait until “mid to late January.”
The Q1 2026 window came and went. The release date has disappeared from trumpmobile.com. The site is now pushing refurbished Samsung phones and iPhones for $47.45 on its “47 Plan,” acknowledging Trump’s status as the 45th and 47th president.

- Landing page they encourage T1 is an abstract language
- Dedicated pages (/products/t1-phone) return 404 Not Found.
- Waiting page demonstrations the specs (6.78-inch AMOLED, cameras, Android) are just pictures, with heavy disclaimers.
- Deposit Preorder Rules (updated April 6, 2026) clearly government that shipping dates, opening times, and production schedules are “non-binding estimates” and “No Guarantees are Made, Delivery or Time.”
“Approximately 600,000 people have given their money and the seal is no longer promising to receive or receive a call… he said Mario Nawfal.
The mobile phone has been cleared by the Federal Communications Commission, which is required for US deployment. No production time has been tracked.
Fine Print Now That Phone Is Unreachable
On April 6, T1 Mobile LLC updated its booking information. The new language says that the $100 deposit “does not guarantee that the Device will be manufactured or available for purchase.”
Consumers are now paying for “licensed access” that the company can use at its discretion. The ship’s estimated dates, the document adds, are considered “inconsistent estimates.”
“I’m paying $100 for the chance to give you more money in the future, if you decide to make something I’m paying for first?” Carter Ryan, a tech developer called CarterPCs, he said on TikTok.
Refund requests are still being processed through customer service. This new document has a limited legal obligation to respect them.
This pattern coincides with a year in which Trump-owned businesses are losing power. Official Trump (TRUMP), was launched in January 2025trades about 96% below its peak, and the chances of getting a meme coin seem slim.
The The cost of the FTC has also increased the light of misleading consumer products.
With $ 59 million collected and no plan to produce documents, investors are betting on the best from a company whose papers no longer promise anything.
Next move maybe and the CFPB or the FTC, not the phone.
