It means one of two things. Either the phone is on a 'pay-as-you-go' tariff - meaning you need to periodically buy credit to use it, or it means the phone has been unlocked from its original network so it can be used on any network (depending on the SIM card inserted).

Do you need a contract to get a phone?

No, you don't need a contract. You can get a pre-paid phone which means no contract/monthly phone bill, but it depends what you mean by "getting a phone". If you already have a contract and just need a new phone than u can just buy a phone but you will have to pay full price for it unless you have upgrades. If you're a new client than yes you would either have to sign a contract or you could just get a pre-paid phone.

Can you upgrade a prepaid phone with o2?

Not sure what you mean by 'upgrade' - if you mean change your phone to a new one - then no. Pre-paid phones are usually yours for life. Contract phones on the other hand - can usually be upgraded towards the end of your contract period. Or are you talking about upgrading from a pre-paid service to contract - keeping the same phone - which is possible after a credit-check.
