So, here's the question: Do you know if any of these global SIM cards have the ability to show call history (itemised billing) and credit balance online?

Also which ones can you top up online via credit card?

Thanks for your help!

With a little effort, it's possible to create your own call record even if the carrier doesn't provide one. With United Mobile, I can call a free number to get my current balance before a business trip. Then I keep a log of calls I make (date, number called, length of call, cost). The cost per call can be calculated by adding the 25 eurocent connect charge to the minutes I talk times the cost per minute published in their rate table. I double check this against the remaining balance after I place my last call on my trip. Works OK if you don't make a real lot of calls and your accounting dept. will accept this sort of documentation.
