No-contract is very common here in NZ. I am still using a very old (not-smart) phone, so I can't comment directly, but I have lots of friends with unlocked Android phones. I'm not on any subscription plan, though - I use pre-pay. Can't comment about US plans, except to say that you guys are getting screwed over - as far as I know, the USA is the only place in the world where you are charged to receive a call or a text. Those are free for everyone else. Just FYI.
