Expert Says 1 Big Claim About 'Trump Mobile' Is Simply 'Not Plausible'
HuffPost
Here's what you need to know about the Trump-branded gold phone.
Would you buy a Trump-branded gold phone? If you can tolerate the sticker price of $499 and some dubious assembly claims, a phone from Donald Trump’s family business could be yours.
Last week, the Trump Organization, which is run by President Donald Trump’s eldest sons, announced Trump Mobile, its own mobile service plan and the plans for a “proudly American” “T1 Phone.”
Trump Mobile is new, but famous people lending their celebrity to a smaller phone carrier is not. But what makes Trump Mobile different is its bold claims of being designed and manufactured in the United States.
“This phone is essentially a licensing deal. The Trump Organization doesn’t design, manufacture or sell it; they’ve simply lent their name,” explained Tinglong Dai, a global supply chains expert at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. “That makes the idea of leading a U.S.-based manufacturing effort even less credible.”
Trump Mobile is one of many growing mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) that pay the three big major phone carriers ― AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon ― to lease the use of their wireless networks.
