No clue what you are asking here. Without contract meaning just a month to month play or per minute play? You'll have to pay something for the phone, many are cheap though. The reason the contract phones are "free" is because they consider the cost of the phone into your yearly spending on service. If you go month to month they are not sure what you will spend and when.
You may be able to get a cheap used phone though from craigslist or somewhere similar.
