None of the major 4 will sell you new service without a contract, period. What the above disclaimer refers to is phone upgrades after your initial contract is up; at that point they cannot force you into another contract, so you continue on month-to-month basis. Selling new phones at discounted prices is one of the ways for them to lock you into another contract, but if you don't what to do it, then you'll pay full price for the phone.
