Roaming of mobile devices is tracked and accounted for automatically and accurately. Revenue records are received for at least one service provider due to roaming of mobile devices within a geographical area served by the at least one service provider for mobile devices that do not have a subscription for service with the service provider for the geographic area. Expense records are received for the service provider due to roaming of mobile devices within other geographical areas served by at least one other service provider and not served by the at least one service provider. Each of the revenue and expense records is associated with a mobile device and includes a code identifying a service and a geographical area. If the codes are valid, the revenue records and expense records received over a period of time are compiled and summarized.
