Yea Canada does something similar but with the setup that I got, I didn't have much of a choice.
See the thing is, when I got my Galaxy S1 in a contract, I got this really good limited time plan which has 6gb of data, unlimited text and etc for $60 a month. For Canada, that is a zomg deal since this is Rogers. Then I upgraded to the Galaxy S4 with a contract and I was able to keep my plan. But then the Canadian laws changed and the contracts before were for 3 years but now, contracts at max can be for 2 years. So what did the Carriers do? They increased the cost of the plans. So if I were to get the exact same plan today, I would have to pay $125 per month.
So when my Galaxy S4 broke earlier this year, I wanted to go into another contract for the Galaxy S7 for $200. But if I did that, I would have to upgrade to a newer plan. With $60 per month, at most, I could get is 1gb of Data. Or I could go in the middle and pay $600, keep my plan and go into a contract. But that was only $150 less than the unlocked price of the Galaxy S7 and I wouldn't need to be locked with the Carrier for another 2 years. And that is how I paid $750 CAD for my phone from Ebay. And remember this is CAD, so really, its more like $550 USD.
