Trump Mobile stated last week that the T1 Phone would begin shipping by the end of that week. More than seven days later, the company has not shipped phones to regular buyers or requested shipping addresses for most orders. The Verge reported that it placed two orders and has not received any shipment confirmation or address request beyond the initial $100 deposits.
The company has not charged the remaining $399 balance on those orders.
Two media outlets received phones through separate channels. NBC stated it received a device after an email indicating media distribution. com. The phones sent to NBC and CNET included a braided USB-C cable, wall charger, and plastic case. Both devices matched the design shown in the company's latest promotional video and contained preinstalled Truth Social and Doctegrity apps.
No regular customers have publicly reported receiving a phone or an email confirming shipment readiness. Trump Mobile has not provided evidence of a wide-scale rollout to individual buyers.
Some outlets reported that 590,000 units had been preordered. A recent customer data leak indicated at most 30,000 orders. The Verge previously noted that the 590,000 figure lacked supporting evidence. The company has not confirmed the phone's country of origin. Available information does not match the T-Mobile Revvl 7 Pro 5G design referenced in some reports.
