Help! New SC at Deloitte, my cell is both personal and business and I incurred some significant roaming fees while traveling abroad this December ($1k). Coach rejected the exp report saying that a majority should be itemized as personal. Am I able to expense the data roaming charges vs. the international travel plan? Or is the expectation that I always incur the roaming fees when traveling abroad (not allowed to use an international sim).

If this was a personal trip it is a personal expense, cant expense it. have you tried looking at esims for traveling abroad? usually a cheaper and faster option

GPS or Commercial?

GPS of course. In commercial coach does not approve. Instead would have been audited and potentially reversed.

If your travel in December was a personal trip, then you need to pay out of pocket the difference between your normal bill and the December bill.

If you're traveling for work internationally, you should have called ahead and had the international plan turned on. You can probably still get the firm to pay it if you were on travel for the firm, but it's still poor planning on your part.

Btw, if you use your work for personal, you also need to be paying a portion of the bill out of pocket every month (I split it 20/80 which I think is pretty standard).

Be thankful - some of your colleagues in other countries don't even get a phone. We have to provide our own. The firm does reimburse contract costs but only on their chosen contracts - which are expensive and don't cover overseas calls or roaming data. Almost all personal contracts do and for a quarter of the price.

They will repay the contract cost but only with a fully itemised bill and up to 60% of contract cost.

My bill is $25 a month and includes everything, so I'd get back $18 for about an hour's work doing itemisation that's irrelevant anyway.

If you weren’t working abroad why do you expect D to pay the bill? Also, if you are nice and able, you could ask your Cel co. to put you on an international roaming plan retroactively. Did it once and saved $2k. The extra monthly fee for a year was well worth it.
