My 1 year free is almost up and will be changing over to the current $25/mo Kickstart in a few days, but recall only free roaming (2G data) is included with no buy up option to high-speed data on this plan. This would mean you're stuck on slow data roaming anywhere except in Japan where Sprint has free and unlimited data on SoftBank at LTE speeds.
Remember that the $25/mo plan requires a port-in.
I am still on the free plan, just used it in China. They offered high speed data for $10/day, IIRC $50/week--I stayed with the free data. Fine for e-mail, it loaded web pages very slow, Google Maps was very slow. (I had a VPN, it would load.)
