Yeah, fairly similar in the UK. You are really entering into a credit agreement to buy an expensive piece of hardware over 24/36 months with some air time added on.

I have mostly bought Moto G's over the years Unlocked SIM free with separate SIM only deals. Its the best way to do it unless you absolutely have to have the latest flagship phone and don't have the cash up front.
