Trump Mobile is not real, can't press release past operating a phone network, says The Verge's Patel

Product & Service Analysis - The offering is likely a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), essentially a rebrand of T-Mobile's network [2] - The phone is expected to be a rebranded Chinese Android phone priced at $499 [2][11][12] - The service advertises unlimited data, but it's likely throttled after 20 gigabytes, similar to other providers [7][8] - The service is priced at $4745.45, significantly more expensive than competitors like Mint Mobile which offers similar service for $15 [6][7] Manufacturing & Operations - Claims of manufacturing phones in the US are likely limited to assemblage, not full construction [10] - The call center will be located in St Louis [4] - Building a phone with the advertised specs in the US and selling it for $499 is financially unfeasible due to high capital expenditure [12][13] Market Positioning & Promises - The company is leveraging the Trump brand to sell existing products and services [11][14] - Promises made by the company are unlikely to be fulfilled in the long term [14] - The company expects many customers to bring their own phones to the network [6][11]
