			On May 19, 2026, Youtubers [[Wikipedia:Coffeezilla\|Stephen Findeisein (Coffeezilla)]] and [[Wikipedia:Cr1TiKaL\|Charles White (penguinz0)]] disclosed the existence of a vulnerability on the Trump Mobile website that exposed customer data including names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and order details. Credit card information was reportedly not exposed. Findeisen described the flaw as "very low-hanging fruit" but declined to detail the technique to avoid making the problem worse.<ref name="Voidzilla" /><ref name="AA-leak">{{Cite web \|last=Horne \|first=Matt \|title=Trump Mobile finally has a real phone, but it may also have a real data leak \|url=https://www.androidauthority.com/trump-mobile-customer-data-link-3668917/ \|website=Android Authority \|date=19 May 2026 \|access-date=20 May 2026 \|url-status=live}}</ref>

			Findeisen stated that he had been alerted to the issue over the weekend of May 16–17, 2026 by a third party who had already tried unsuccessfully to contact Trump Mobile. Findeisen and [[Wikipedia:Cr1TiKaL\|Charles White (penguinz0)]], who confirmed his own data was exposed, then attempted to reach Trump Mobile through multiple channels without receiving any response<ref name="Penguinz0-leak">{{Cite web \|last=White \|first=Charles \|title=Huge Trump Phone Disaster \|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8TwGH1B5wA \|website=YouTube \|publisher=penguinz0 \|date=19 May 2026 \|access-date=20 May 2026 \|url-status=live}}</ref>. As of May 20, 2026, the vulnerability had not been patched and Trump Mobile had not issued any public statement or breach notification.<ref name="Voidzilla" /><ref name="AA-leak" />

			They also noted<ref name="Voidzilla" /><ref name="Penguinz0-leak" /> that the leaked data appeared to indicate that Trump Mobile had made false statements regarding its customer base, as Trump mobile had claimed nearly 600,000 phone sales, however the leaked data indicated that around 10,000 customers had purchased around 30,000 phones.<ref name="AA-leak" /><ref name="Voidzilla" />

			Multiple outlets, including ''The Verge'', Android Authority, GSMArena, and NBC News, identified the shipping T1 as a re-skinned 2024 [[Wikipedia:HTC U24 Pro\|HTC U24 Pro]] rather than a U.S.-manufactured device. iFixit engineer Shahram Mokhtari told NBC News the device "looks physically very similar" to the HTC U24 Pro.<ref name="NBC-review" /> The T1 Phone received FCC authorization in January 2026 and PTCRB carrier-compatibility certification in March 2026 under the model designation SGG-06.

			===Pre-order Terms of Service rewrite (''April 2026'')===
			On April 6, 2026, with the T1 Phone months past its original ship date, Trump Mobile rewrote its "Preorder Deposit Terms and Conditions" to recharacterize the $100 deposit as a "conditional opportunity" to purchase the device if Trump Mobile "later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the Device for sale." The revised terms state that the company "does not guarantee that a Device will be produced or made available for purchase" and cap Trump Mobile's liability at the deposit amount.<ref name="Snopes-deposits">{{Cite web \|last=Christensen \|first=Laerke \|title=Will Trump phone deposits be refunded if device isn't released?

	In June, as reported by the ''Financial Times'', Trump Mobile utilized the Liberty Mobile network.<ref name="MWL" /> However, the Liberty Mobile website does not mention the network holding 5G capabilities that the Trump Mobile website claims, despite both websites being updated in 2025. In addition, this conflicts with Trump Mobile's claims that the service "will offer 5G service through all three major cellular carriers"<ref name="TTO B" />, as Liberty Mobile is a T-Mobile-based MVNO.
