Buying a phone in Europe [closed]

I am thinking about buying a locked phone in Luxembourg. The offer looks attractive but I would like to know what happens after the 'subscription' period, for example, if I buy a 24 months plan and throughout this time my phone will be usable only with this specific carrier. Will I be able to use it simply use after the 24 months period or I will have to pay something to the carrier?

I also would be glad to get others' feedback who experience this kind of purchase.
