President Donald Trump and his family business are launching a new mobile phone network and a $499 gold smartphone celebrating him.
The Trump Organization announced ‘The 47 Plan’ that will cost $47.45 per month, referring to him being the US’s 47th and 45th president, and a ‘sleek, gold’ T1 Phone that will be ‘designed and built in the United States’.
T1 Phones will have the Android 15 operating system, a 6.8-inch punch AMOLED home screen, a 50MP main camera, a 120 Hz refresh rate and 256GB internal storage.
They are already available for pre-order and expected to be available in August.

Meanwhile, Trump Mobile will offer 5G service to customers through America’s three major networks, which are AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.
The plan will include unlimited talk, texting and unlimited data with the first 20GB at high-speed. It will have nationwide coverage and international calling to 100 destinations. Additionally, it offers roadside assistance, mental health and wellness telehealth and a discount program for prescriptions.
‘With Trump Mobile, we’re gonna be introducing an entire package of products that people can come — they can get telemedicine on their phone for one flat monthly fee, roadside assistance in their cars, unlimited texting to a hundred countries around the world!’ said Trump Organization executive vice president Donald Trump Jr from Trump Tower in New York on Monday.
‘We think we’re going to be giving something unique to the American people.’

The president’s eldest son said the plan is for ‘real Americans’ looking for ‘true value from their mobile carriers’.
Verizon’s Visible offers a similar package for $25 monthly, while T-Mobile offers unlimited plans for $30 monthly.
Eric Trump, Trump Jr’s younger brother and fellow executive vice president for the organization, said that Trump Mobile ‘is going to revolutionize kind of cellphones, mobile calling’.
‘More and more we’re using technology as a company, right, to correct the problems,’ he said on Fox Business on Monday.

‘We’re going to do it better. We’re gonna do it safer.’
Trump has capitalised on his presidencies with a slew of his branded merchandise including Make America Great Again hats and clothing, gold sneakers, trading cards, Bibles, commemorative coins, and a cryptocurrency project, to name just a few.
The president made more than $10million last year selling the merchandise, according to his financial disclosure report, released by the Office of Government Ethics on Friday.
On Monday, the Trump Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Metro on whether Trump and his two eldest sons will be using T1 Phones and The 47 Plan. The president is known to use an iPhone.
