French term or phrase: client post-payé sous engagement

Au 30 septembre 2005, 21,4 millions de clients de XXX sont sous engagement. Il s’agit de clients post-payé, qui représentent 75 % du parc correspondant. Ainsi, seul un quart des clients post-payé est en mesure de changer d’opérateur sans encourir de pénalités.

"sous engagement" as opposed to "hors engagement"
I understand this to mean customers who are not bound by a minimum contract period, but don't know what to call it.
