The Trump Organization has unveiled "Trump Mobile," a $499 smartphone and wireless service aimed at conservative consumers, marking its entry into the highly competitive telecom market.

Announced by the president's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., the service includes U.S.-based customer support, telemedicine access, and roadside assistance, all for $47.45 a month.

Although the Trump Organization isn't making the phones or running the network itself, it licensed the brand to T1 Mobile. The product is part of a growing trend of conservative-branded services positioned as alternatives to mainstream providers.

Experts note that many details about the service remain unclear, including which telecom company powers it. Most smartphones in the U.S. are still made overseas, and the mobile service market is dominated by big players like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. Trademark filings suggest the Trump brand may also expand into related products like accessories and retail stores.
