Even in India where I live, there are no services (other than the iPhone) that come with a carrier plan. Also, the call and SMS rates here in India are dirt cheap. Fathom this - you can talk for about 1 hour for the equivalent of $1. Of course, we don't have 3G services as of yet here, while 4G has already started to roll out in many countries.
But i hope that phones won't be tied to carriers in the future as internet becomes more accessible from the mobile phone in India.
