The Trump Organization, the family brand of former President Donald Trump, has launched a new revenue stream with the introduction of Trump Mobile. The cellular service and mobile phone under the company umbrella uses Trump's name and his time in the White House to help advertise the latest business venture. Trump Mobile is expected to offer a 5G network service with "The 47 Plan," along with its own smartphone. According to a news release, Trump Mobile is going to change the game by building on the movement to put America first and delivering the highest levels of quality and service. The e-SIM card is compatible with most Android phones, and users can check their phone's compatibility at trumpmobile.com. The flagship plan, "The 47 Plan," is expected to cost $47.45 per month, a nod to Trump's two terms in office. It includes unlimited talk, text and data, complete device protection, 24/7 roadside assistance through Drive America, telehealth services including virtual medical care, mental health support, and easy ordering and delivery for prescription medications. Additionally, users will have free international calling to more than 100 countries, including many with American military bases, and there are no contracts or credit checks required. People wanting to switch to Trump Mobile can call 888-TRUMP45 to talk to someone about getting the service. The news release did not specify which carriers would support Trump Mobile, but it was mentioned that they were "working with all three major carriers." Trump Mobile is currently available in Tennessee for those with Android-based devices. The gold smartphone, dubbed the "T1," is not yet available but will retail for $499 with a down payment of $100 once it is launched. The Trump Organization is Trump's holding company for his business ventures. This article originally appeared on The Washington Post: What is Trump Mobile? Is it available in Tennessee? What to know.
