I'm not sure how big your budget it, but you can pick up a decent smart phone for under $200. Usually the older modems go for a lower price,,,,
With an unlocked phone, you will be able to use it with mostly every gsm carrier. Perhaps if your looking for text + talk only, you should go on the prepaid plan and use the sim with an unlocked phone.
Here are some relatively good phones you might be interested in: blackberry torch (slighlty expensive since it's a new model), mytouch 3g, mytouch 2g, and finally touch pro 2. All these three phones I listed at the end are relatively inexpensive and can be bought on auction for under $150. Make sure the phone is unlocked, but even if it isn't you can easily do it your self.
If I were you, I would stay away from a contract. Albeit a $0 or even $99, may sound like a good deal, but if your not going to be using it on data plan, you might aswell go on prepaid for a much lower price.
