Sure, go to at&t's website and look at the prepaid phones. When you go to order one, it will automatically include a $20 or $25 prepaid credit. You can remove the credit from the phone so in the end you are buying the phone for $10-$25.

Then just stop in at an at&t store and tell them you already have a phone and just want service. They will set you up on a contract plan. However, since you are not getting a discounted phone when you sign up, there is no contract.

You can find some phones as low as $11, here is a link to one found on slickdeals.net: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/32274

When you are ready to cancel the plan, just call at&t and they will cancel it on the spot and prorate you for the rest of your billing period.
