No it wouldn't, because the heading as it is, is correct. If you sign up to the $89 plan over 24 months, you can pay $287 for a Galaxy S25 Ultra.
They do not need to advertise in the headline what happens if you then decide to not stay for the 24 months. Thats up to you to understand the T&Cs. If you're too lazy to do that before signing a contract of any kind, then you're probably not going to find much success overall bud
Why so aggressive?
"Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), mobile phone ads must display the total minimum price, including all mandatory charges like GST and unavoidable fees, as a single, prominent figure."
If you look at a more reputable seller like Telstra (yes, haha) they will always prominently state the total minimum cost. harvey Norman, would appear to be in breech of consumer laws, but nothing new there, eh?

You mean that bit that's prominent on the linked page? And guess what, neither this post nor the web page are ads so your "gotcha" missed the mark.
@banana365: Just FYI, it's not just ads that need to display that info. The product page of what's for sale also has to show it. (But yes, you're correct that the JB page does say the minimum total cost)

They don't need to but the expected value of these jb hifi mobile plan posts these days is to get the phone at a good price after cancelling. A good quality jb hifi phone plan post should factor this in, even if it's to say not ATL. Hence why all the comments below focus on this.
Cancelling still ends up at like $1,300 to $1,400 or something. Not a bargain at all, and no phone plan has ever been a good deal if you aren't planning to cancel it.
is the voucher repayment still the same 1000 for the 89 vs 99 plan?
It's $2136 for the 24 months + $287 upfront. Unless your monthly plan is already astronomical, this is not a bargain.
most people would cancel the plan straight away.
I think it's still cheaper to buy from the edu store if you have access (with the 5% loyalty + 5% new account discounts)
90 bucks a month thats insane. i payed $120/year for 20gigs/month.
Who with? I need Telstra network because I'm in the middle of nowhere, so probably doesn't apply to me, but I got Boost for $200 when it was on sale and had cashback deal for 300gb for a year. I wish they went back to being cheaper and less data lol. (uses full Telstra network and is owned by Telstra too.)
I can see posts in FB marketplace people selling 1TB brand new sealed with Samsung or JB HI-FI invoice as low as $1100. Is it some kind of scam ?
Discount is $1300 and voucher value is counted as $1000.
If you cancel you have to reimburse is 23/24th of $1000 + first month fee of $89
=$1047.33
Total cost = $287+1047 = $1334At least you get a brand new phone for approx 1300
It is still cheaper niceļ¼
<sigh> $287 is just the deposit. Full price in the headline please. Too late for me to multiply by 24, and google cancel fees.
If they were to advertise the deal like that, it would be illegal.
