Terms on Trump Mobile site indicate that phones may never come
Updated terms say the $100 deposits are not binding purchases, while about 600,000 buyers have paid roughly $60 million for a phone with no confirmed ship date.
- The Trump Mobile T1 phone launched in June 2025 with a $100 deposit pre-order and was marketed as a gold-colored smartphone emphasizing American design and values, but as of mid-2026, no confirmed release date or shipments have been made.
- Nearly 600,000 customers have paid deposits totaling about $59 million, but the company's terms state that placing a deposit does not guarantee production or delivery of the phone.
- Initial claims of manufacturing the phone in the USA were changed to clarify that most production occurs overseas, with only limited assembly in Miami.
- Customers have expressed frustration on social media over shipping delays and lack of clear communication, with some requesting refunds, though mass refunds have not been widely issued.
