You're correct on this point. Unfortunately, the hard you fight to pinch a cent, the worse your documentation is for corporate reimbursement. If you take your contract mobile phone to another country and just stop thinking about saving money, your documentation is perfect for the bean counters back at corporate headquarters. Conversely, a receipt for a prepaid SIM from a foreign party shop will make them complain.

My wife has a client in Hong Kong, she purchased a prepaid SIM for HK$100 (US$12) and worked for ten days off it. With one HK$100 reacharge. Her coworker, used a T-Mobile US phone and paid US$1.49 per minute and racked up a US$491 roaming bill. The bean counter was more concerned that my wife could have made a personal call or two on the company's dime than the US$469 she saived them.

To answer your question directly. HOP has itemized records. Mobal gives you a nice corporate type bill, but they charge more than most contract carriers.
