| 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?

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

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

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.

These phones usually are more expensive.

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