Renting SIM cards abroad

[laxmax613]

I'm going to Russia next week for two weeks. I'd like to be able to use my cell phone there for calls, texts and data. What's a way to do this and not go broke? I tried to find a SIM rental company but data rates are something like $.25 for 10 kb. That's a racket.

Rental? Just buy a pre-paid card. They're dirt cheap in all of the European countries that I've been to.

Buy a prepaid card from one of the local carries. I paid $15 had ample minutes and texts with 5gb of HSPA+ data in Poland.
