There always seems to be something new coming out of the Trump Organization. This time, it's a mobile phone service.

Yes, for real. I can't believe this isn't satire:

Are you an English-speaking American? Do you even understand what the term “amnesty” means?

The Wiki page for U.S. Cellular says:

In May 2024, T-Mobile US announced it would acquire UScellular's wireless customers and retail outlets, plus 30% of its wireless spectrum licenses in a deal worth $4.4 billion.

Subsequently, UScellular announced that it had reached agreements to sell 55% of its remaining wireless spectrum license holdings for approximately $1 billion to AT&T and $1 billion to Verizon.

I remember when driving across the country nobody knew where you were. Now I do it with a Faraday bag (which works until you have to make a call) or leave this tracker at home.

Your car has no GPS?

If it’s a good service and price, I might look into it. Is it up and running now, or in the preliminary stage?

No. Those are phones/services funded by an FCC surcharge on your phone bill. This is a business venture by the Trump organization.

[Angelino97]

There's a privacy phone called Bittium, but what their promises actually mean.

They claim their phones are "Approved for NATO Restricted Level."

[Resolute Conservative]

That was turned off. I get no “updates” and do not use the built Nav system (disabled), I can read a map.
