Huawei has been trying to sell mobile phones to major cellular operators in the United States and has expressed strong interest. According to Jannie Luong Nguyen, a spokesperson for Huawei’s US operations, it’s safe to assume that we’ll talk to all major U.S. carriers.
Riley Repko, senior adviser to the US Air Force’s cyber operations, said that the U.S. government is concerned that Huawei’s network equipment will also be used in its new mobile phone business. The U.S. federal government needs to consider long-term, serious consideration and slow action. We need more rigorous review.

T-Mobile USA had 33.6 million subscribers as of the end of June this year. In the past, Huawei had sold Huawei products. Last year, T-Mobile USA provided a plug-in for connecting laptops to wireless internet.
