Purchasing the Trump Organizationâs new golden smartphone might confirm to be harder than predicted, as one man was left surprised at what occured when he pre-ordered the T1 Phone straight after it was announced.
The Trump familyâs latest business venture contains a gold-covered Android phone that supposedly will rival the iPhone and Samsungâs Galaxy devices, yet if the purchasing process is anything to go buy you shouldnât hold out much hope.
Matched with the $47.45-per-month Trump Mobile plan, the T1 Phone shows off operations in the United States for anyone who wants to buy âreal Americanâ products, although itâs unclear how much of the gadgetâs actual components are sourced and manufactured on American soil.
One journalist commented that would be the least of the issues when attempting to pick up their own T1 Phone while many people across social media have been left surprised at the price of the device and network plan
What happens when you pre-order the T1 Phone?
If your experience is anything like that of 404 Mediaâs Joseph Cox then youâre in for a ride when trying to purchae the new Trump phone, as the experience was troubled by countless errors and even incorrect payments.
âI tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,â Cox explains.
âI received a confirmation email saying Iâll receive a confirmation when my order has been shipped,â Cox continued, âbut I havenât offered a shipping address or paid the $499 price tag.â
Whatâs more, he also details attempting to log into the Trump Mobile website and change his password, only to be met with another error message and unable to access his account.
âIt is the worst experience Iâve ever faced buying a consumer electronic product and I have no idea whether or how Iâll receive the phone,â writes Cox.
What are people saying about the Trump Phone?
Understandably many have interacted with surprise to Coxâs experience attempting to buy the T1 Phone, but some argue that this is an unpredcited experience with products associated with the Trump name.
âWhatâs up? Got scammed by the president? Sounds ridiculous doesnât it?â Writes on user on Reddit. âTo anyone stupid enough to buy this phone, at least use a credit card so you are protected.â
Plenty of people are also showing concerns about the security of the device, with allegations that your phone data will be recorded and processed by the government.
