Trump Organization, the holding company for President Donald Trump’s business ventures, announced the launch of a new cellular service and cellphone on June 16.

Dubbed Trump Mobile, the network will offer 5G service through “The 47 Plan,” a flagship plan available for $47.45 per month − a nod to the president’s first and second terms.

Trump Mobile is also slated to launch a mobile phone, the T1 Phone, which uses an Android operating system, according to its website.

The launch comes on the 10-year anniversary of the start of Trump’s first presidential campaign.

“Trump Mobile is going to change the game, we’re building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service,” Donald Trump Jr. said in a news release.

Trump Mobile will operate out of US, Eric Trump says

Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, said in an interview on Fox Business’ “Mornings with Maria” on June 16 that Trump Mobile is “going to revolutionize cell phones, mobile calling.” He also said the company will operate fully in the United States.

“You’re not calling up call centers in Bangladesh − do it right out of St. Louis, Missouri, and you’re going to have phones that are made right here in the United States of America,” he said.

The second eldest Trump son touted Trump Organization’s foray into the tech industry with both social media platform Truth Social and World Liberty Financial, a crypto venture.

“I really believe we’re gonna have one of the great kind of tech platforms as part of the Trump Organization of any company in the world,” he said.
