Terms on Trump Mobile site indicate that phones may never come

Trump Mobile’s updated terms say a deposit is only a conditional opportunity and do not guarantee a device, as roughly 600,000 buyers wait for updates.

  • Supporters of President Donald Trump have expressed frustration over delays in the launch of the gold-coloured Trump Mobile T1 smartphone, which missed the January 2026 deadline despite refundable deposits made nearly a year ago.
  • Thousands of customers placed refundable deposits, with many not receiving the phones or clear delivery updates, and social media is filled with complaints.
  • The Trump Mobile website states that preorder deposits do not guarantee that the device will be produced or available for purchase, though deposits remain refundable.
  • Initial claims of the phone being "Made in the USA" shifted to it being designed with American values, and the service plan costs $47.45 monthly with perks inaccessible without the device.
