Data Plan with NO contract / agreement
 
Friends will be visiting in a couple days for 2 weeks. They would want to use some temporarily pre-paid data plan that does not require any contract / agreement.

Roammobility only provides US packages, but not within Canada

Any alternatives?

Go to 7-eleven, pretty sure they have prepaid/pay as you go sims there.

Rogers, Virgin, Fido, PC everyone offers pre paid data.

Would recommend this. Used 7-11 Speakout for the 2 months i was in Vancouver. Uses the rogers network as well albeit limited (no hotspots/tether)

Do they have their own phone? You can always try Fido or Chart.

Fido just dropped prepaid data $5, $20 for 500mb and $30 1GB
You can't tether with it and voice/text is extra

Both Wind and Mobilicity have prepaid plans with no contracts.

Wind prepaid is maximum $2 a day. When you make phone calls or use enough data that cost $2, then the rest of the day it's unlimited.

Edit: Never mind. Looks like new clients can't get that plan anymore because they got rid if it

If you have Shaw internet you can use their WIFI service as well

I'm not sure if all phones work on Wind, I have a Note 3 unlocked I got from HK and works on Fido LTE but when I asked if I could use this phone on Wind some people were telling me only the Canadian model or T-Mobile US model would work. Not sure if I was given some misinformation though.

ae101 05-14-2014 07:14 PM

wind & mobliecity are HSPSA (i hope i spelled it right) network which is higher then then everyone else, thats what they told me when then asked wind

Koodo prepaid.

$15 basic plan (unlimited text)+500MB for $20/1GB for $30+(optional)$5 for 25min Canada-wide minute.

That's why I got for my in-law when they came over for the holidays.

$60 and you get 3G on Telus network. Very fast and decent coverage.

Oh, and tethering is enabled.

Wind/ Mobilicity uses the aws band and need a phone that uses that or else you'd be roaming all the time.

These phones usually are more expensive.

Where you get $5?

$10/20/30 has always been the regular price.
