| 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.

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.
