Over a year ago 590K Americans put down $100 deposits on Trump's $499 gold phone and not a single one has shipped [View all]

Are you one of the 590,000 people who paid a $100 deposit for Donald Trump's T1 phone? If so, you may be curious to know when you'll actually get your $499 smartphone. According to new reports, the answer may be "never," since the phones haven't been put into production a year after Trump's family began collecting payments for the devices.

Now, an update to the phone's terms and conditions has some people worried they'll never even get a chance to buy one. Keep reading to learn more about what is going on with Trump's T1 phone.

Trump's Mobile Phone Has Not Shipped

A MoneyWise report says that Trump's "Made in the USA" phone has not yet gone into production. More than half a million people put down $100 deposits for the phone, which was announced Jun. 16, 2025. However, nobody has reported receiving the phone, and Trump Mobile's $ 47.45-a-month plan still says you need to bring your own phone to enroll.

The original delivery date was scheduled for the end of summer 2025, shortly after the company began accepting deposits. Then, the phone's delivery date was pushed back three times—including in November and December 2025, and again in March 2026—until MoneyWise says the website where the delivery dates were shared took down the information.
