I'm going overseas (Russia), I have two options.

Option 1) Use Sprint open world (not available anymore, I'm grandfathered in) = 3 cents per MB at 3G speeds which is $30/GB.

OR

Option 2) The current Sprint global roaming = free unlimited 2G speed but can purchase speed pass at up to 4G speeds. $25 for a week but limited to 100mb a day.

I will be there for a month, I'm kind of torn on this, All opinions would be helpful.
 
Option 1 would cost you $30/GB for the month.

Option 2 would cost you $100/2.8GB ($25/700mb a week, times 4 weeks) for the month.

I think the first option is a no brainer.

Upon checking again I made a mistake. Option 2 is not limited to 100mb. It's unlimited for 7 days. I think I'll go with that then.
