It has an American flag design with just 11 stripes (the real flag has 13) and isn’t built in the U.S. as originally advertised, but the Trump phone is finally here. Almost. Not quite, actually, according to The Verge. But that’s not even the big news of the day. The news is that Trump Mobile has leaked customer information, and the company finally confirmed it.
YouTuber Coffeezilla was the first to report this week that his and every other Trump Mobile customer’s information had been leaked. He was contacted by a security researcher who just wanted to give him a heads up that, with the exception of his credit card, basically everything he’d handed over to Trump Mobile was available on the open web.
“There’s a public interest in letting people know, do not order on TrumpMobile.com unless you’re ready for your information to be leaked. It’s basically that bad,” he said in the video.
Coffeezilla also reported that it appears there were significantly fewer pre-orders for the phone than previously reported. Gizmodo couldn’t independently confirm those statistics.
According to a report from TechCrunch, customers’ names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers were all leaked. Order identifiers were also available, according to the news outlet.
The culprit was reportedly a third-party platform with which Trump Mobile contracts. TechCrunch received confirmation about the leak from Chris Walker, a spokesperson for the company, but Trump Mobile didn’t respond to emailed questions from Gizmodo on Friday. The third-party vendor was not publicly named.
Coffeezilla reported on Thursday that the security vulnerability that exposed customer data at Trump Mobile had been patched.

Trump Mobile was first announced in June 2025, less than six months after Donald Trump started his second term as president. The brand was created by Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., but the actual rollout of the phone has been delayed.
Officially known as the T1 phone, a handful of journalists have gotten their hands on one in the lead-up to what is supposed to be the much-delayed launch. One journalist at 404 Media reported in October 2025 that the Trump Organization had made some unauthorized charges on their account after handing over payment information for the $100 deposit.
The Trump family has made literally billions of dollars since President Trump took office for a second time in Jan. 2025. Trump has been heavily invested in cryptocurrency, launched his own phone, and is even hawking watches on TV—all while serving as the president. To say that all of this is unprecedented would be an understatement. But Trump doesn’t care, and Congress, which is controlled by the Republicans, refuses to hold him accountable for profiting off the presidency.
There have been recent cracks in the MAGA coalition, however. Trump’s decision to start a war with Iran has made him incredibly unpopular, and House Republicans had to cancel a vote on a war powers resolution on Thursday because it looked like it might pass. The vote would’ve restricted Trump’s ability to continue waging the war, which was started Feb. 28.
Curiously, TechCrunch reports that Trump Mobile’s spokesperson told the outlet the company is “evaluating whether it needs to notify customers of the exposure of their personal data.” That would probably be the morally correct thing to do, guys, even if it’s not legally required in this specific case.
But it’s not like the Trump brand is big on morals.
