The Trump family has launched Trump Mobile, a new MVNO offering "5G service through all three major cellular carriers". The prepaid service has no contracts and no credit check. For $47.45 per month, the service offers "unlimited data", although only the first 20 GB is high-speed data. It also offers unlimited talk and text and "free international calling to more than 100 countries". The international-calling page of the Trump Mobile web site promises "you get competitive international rates with full transparency. You only pay for what you use — no hidden fees or confusing charges", yet does not list any rates. It also shows 185 countries that allow "unlimited" calling, but another 392 countries with capped maximum minutes (presumably per month), ranging from 5 to 125 minutes. Many islands (Cuba, Haiti, Bahamas) and countries in Africa are limited to 30 minutes or less. Although the web site emphasizes enabling "service members and their loved ones to stay connected", calling to Qatar is capped at 40 minutes, even though Qatar hosts the US' largest military base in the middle east with over 11,000 service members. The service plan also includes roadside assistance, telehealth services, and device protection, all provided by third-party partners. The company also promises 24/7, US-based customer service. The service is currently bring-your-own-device (BYOD), but the company also announced plans for a gold "T1 Phone" for $499, coming in September. It has a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, 5,000 mAh battery, 20W fast charging, 50 megapixel camera, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB storage, Android 15, fingerprint reader, and 3.5mm headset jack. The press release claims the phone is "designed and built in the United States".
