German looking for T-Mobile "3$ pay per day" alternative

[The-Peanut]

Hello everyone. Please excuse me if this is not the right place to ask my question. I hope you guys can help me. I'm a big MacRumors fan from Germany working for an airline. Every now and then (at least once every two months) I get to travel to the US and stay for up to 3 days. I used to have a T-Mobile "3$ pay per day" tariff. Last month I have accidentally changed it and could not go back because T-Mobile sneakily got rid off the "pay per day" tariffs.

Luckily, I only have/had about 60$ left on that SIM card. Now I pay 3$ per month (whether I get to come to the US or not) + either 5$ for 500MB per day or 10$ for 1GB for a week. Now this deal isn't gonna make me poor but I very much preferred the "pay per day 3$" option.

Does anyone know any other alternatives? All I need is data. I do however want to be able to make phone calls if I need to but I don't want to be paying money when I'm not even in the country and won't use it.

I have found something about "roam mobility" but am not sure whether I can use it because it seems to be for Canadians only?

Or am I wrong here? Plus I don't have an US credit card in case anyone knows about a deal which however requires an US credit card.
I would really appreciate your help guys.

Haven't heard of that service...thanks for the referral lol.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you'll be able to do it without a Canadian billing address card.

Although they bury it in their site. They have a $3 per month pay as you go plan. $3 gets you 30 minutes or text messages so using either decreases both. Each additional minute/text is 10¢.

They also have $5 a day for 500MB data or $10 a week for 1GB data.

So if you just need a few minutes when traveling here and since you visit frequently. You just have to spend $3 per month.

Although you could also use something like Skype or Vonage on your phone and make calls over WiFi. So you can call Germany without any international fees.

I would look into getting an Aldi Talk (Medion) Sim Card.
They have a variety of different rates, including a 24h-1gb data option for only 1.99€.
T-Com, O2 and Vodafone are by far the worst providers in germany for a variety of reasons.
