Walker said that the exposure was linked to a third-party platform provider that supports “certain Trump Mobile operations.” He did not name the provider.

Sounds like they're an MVNO for T-Mobile, the most unsecure database in the world. LOL

I think I guessed correctly:

Trump Mobile primarily uses the T-Mobile network although Liberty Mobile provides support and could also be the leak.


Trump Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) operated through Liberty Mobile Wireless (a Florida-based company). It runs on T-Mobile's infrastructure for its 5G coverage.

Key Details:

• Marketing claims: They say they work with "all three major carriers" (AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile) and are on "the nation's largest 5G network."
• Reality: Multiple sources (including coverage maps, reviews, and reports) confirm it mainly uses T-Mobile. It may have some roaming access to AT&T or Verizon in limited areas, but the core network is T-Mobile.

This is typical for MVNOs — they lease access from a major carrier rather than owning their own towers. If you're considering signing up, T-Mobile generally has strong 5G coverage in most populated areas.

It would be nice if presidents or their direct families didn't lie or benefit from inside information or nepotism, But as that won't happen, I must admit that owning an imitation gold plated cheap chinese android pohone might well impress a couple of the local homeless popolation wearing maga caps made in the USA. (they still need charity though, so don't walk past them)

Will have to ask though, as a rational educated participant in these fora,

Will anyone buy one?
