Actually that varies from country to country. In the US you are rarely offered a discount on a plan because you already have a phone so you pay more for a plan plus an unlocked phone than you pay for the same plan with a discounted, locked phone. Plus, as your plan's term draws close, you will normally be offered even greater discounts on newer phones as an option to renew the plan.
