  • The Trump Organization unveiled a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone that is set to launch later this year.
  •     The new venture is the latest example of President Donald Trump's business empire capitalizing on its association with the sitting president.
  •     The company's foray into telecommunications mainly comprises a licensing agreement.

"The Trump Organization on Monday unveiled a mobile phone plan and a $499 smartphone that is set to launch in September.

The new service, Trump Mobile, will offer a $47.45-per-month plan that includes unlimited talk, text and data, as well as roadside assistance and a "Telehealth and Pharmacy Benefit," according to its website.

The company owned by President Donald Trump also announced it will sell a "T1" smartphone, which appears to feature a gold-colored metal case etched with an American flag."
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

LOL!

I bet they'll be made in Israel, and will only be for sale to liberals, communists, and Democrats!

If the phone is truly made in America, I could possibly be interested.

$47.45 a month.
That's almost double what I'm paying thru GoogleFi. A highly underrated carrier service that I've recommended to all of my friends yet they still complain about their $150/month bill thru other carriers.

My t-mobile plan was $35 a month until last month. I got a letter saying that they were no longer honoring old plans. My plan was like a decade old.  I buy unlocked phones and keep for years. I had my last phone for five years. They rose the price to $50 a month. I may be looking for a new carrier soon.

I don't think it will be this one.  :D

Looking at what they're offering, it's a damn good price.
Unlimited everything
Mobile Hotspot
International calling

I haven't shopped phone plans in a while though, but I doubt anyone offers all of that for that price.

I'm guessing some leftist judge will be issuing an injunction in 3, 2 1.

This reminds me of Billy Beer from the bad old Jimmy Carter days  ::)

Since they're using T1 mobile, you can expect those stores to be...."peacefully protested" while they burn to the ground.

They are not using T1 mobile, T1 mobile is licensing the Trump name.
