Overview
- Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Robert Garcia led a letter asking the FTC to investigate Trump Mobile’s T1 marketing, deposits, and product representations.
- The members requested the agency disclose any contacts with President Trump, the Trump Organization, or Trump Mobile and set a February 14, 2026 response deadline.
- Customers were charged $100 to preorder the T1 for August 2025 delivery, then saw delays to November and December with no phones delivered as of January 2026.
- While preorders remain unfulfilled, Trump Mobile has listed refurbished iPhones and Samsung devices made abroad using patriotic language about U.S. origin.
- A Trump Mobile support operator told NBC News the phone is in final certification and field testing with a targeted ship window sometime in Q1 2026.
