You kind of implied it when you said contract-free instead of not from a carrier.

At least here in the States, the majority of contract free and prepaid phones for sale are associated with a particular carrier.

The convention I've seen is "SIM-free."

In Australia the retailers generally call it a 'handset only' purchase
