Surely the Trump Phone will be made in the USA, right?

[Airyaman]

Looks like the Trump family has a new scam to bilk suckers.

Trump Mobile! With the Trump Phone (T1 for short)!

And you just know it is made in the USA! And they will have their own network that will be faster than T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T!!!

So will it be made in America? This article says "YES!!"

Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone

This feels like Ryan Reynolds’ fault.

So ditch those Samsung and IPhones, get a gold plated T1 Phone, totally made in 'Murica!

This is a joke, right?

At least Obama gave his phones away for free.

Hunter Biden was a rank amateur.

they won't be creating a network - there is no way I see they could acquire the frequencies to do it

That makes it better?

The OP link says they will use the T-Mobile Network.

Hey guys, but Hunter Biden....

He sold a painting, which is a bad thing.

The President of the United States starting a company in a field where he has regulatory control over is one of the most corrupt actions I can think of.

Only one magat has the stones to show up in this thread.

Every time something like this happens I say to myself…. Surely this is too much…. But it never is.

Isn't he supposed to have his business interests in a blind trust?

One can do better through consumer cellular. Especially if you belong to AARP.

No one stopped him the first time around.

No one is going to stop him this time… especially now that the Supreme Court made him a king.

This is a joke, right?

Strictly speaking, yes.

The President of the United States starting a company in a field where he has regulatory control over is one of the most corrupt actions I can think of.

And another reminder that

What a huge conflict of interest.

"And they will have their own network that will be faster than T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T!!!"

I am now looking at the article ....

As for the network, Trump Mobile’s online Terms of Use say that it’s “powered by Liberty Mobile,” a freedom-themed mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that uses the T-Mobile network



That would make sense, there are quite a few of those re-seller type companies that piggy back the big networks

Several mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) use T-Mobile's network infrastructure, including Google Fi, Mint Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, Tello, Ultra Mobile, US Mobile (on some plans), and Red Pocket. Other MVNOs like Boost Mobile and Simple Mobile also utilize T-Mobile's network, along with TextNow, Gen Mobile, Helium Mobile, and Consumer Cellular.
