Trump phone gets $250 price hike to $749

Trump Mobile has raised the price of its T1 Phone to $749, up $250 from the $499 launch price. The company did not announce the change; its website was quietly updated overnight.

The phone itself has not changed. The T1 Phone includes 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM, specifications that had made the original pricing seem unusually generous. Trump Mobile previously described the $499 figure as an “introductory” price and later labeled it a “promotional price.” That wording has now been removed.

Support since launch has been limited. The phone has received exactly one software update, moving from Android’s February 2026 security patch to the May 2026 version. It still runs Android 15, which the source describes as two years old.

The T1 Phone officially began shipping in May, but the number of customers who have received their phones remains unclear. A BBC report last month found that at least some buyers said their phones had never arrived.
