Anyone out there seen those ads running on TV at the moment by Orb offerring the BlueAnt bluetooth handsfree kit for cars at $89? (normally $199 or their abouts).
I saw it several times before deciding to go out of my way to visit their shop to get it. It turns out that this deal was only if you signed up to a 24-month telecom phone plan. After going out of my way to go to their store for this, I was quite dissapointed.
I don't consider myself to be the brightest kid on the block, but I do notice most things I see on TV, and I could not recall noticing or hearing that the deal was pertaining to signing up to a plan.
Since then I've seen the TV ad again, and sure enough, lower down on the screen, in thin black lettering, over a dark gray background, was (for a brief couple of seconds) was something about "only on a 24 month plan".
I think that's a tad misleading, and leads to people (me at least) going to their store with the intention of taking up their special deal, only to be asked to sign-up to a telecom plan for 24 months.
Anyone else seen it / experience the same?
