I will be in England for 2 1/2 weeks and will need a cellphone mostly
for local calls and a few short calls back to the U.S.

William Black's suggestion is correct, if you must have a mobile phone. The
small usage you suggest certainly doesn't merit a contract, and you might
even be no worse off using public payphones.


I need to get the phone a week or so before my trip in order to test
it out and give my phone number to contacts both in the US and
England.

Sorry, the reason you need to get the phone rather than bring your US phone
is that the systems are incompatible. You won't be able to test such a phone
in the USA, even if you can buy it there, because it won't work on the
American network.
