  FinOps view of Truphone (1GLOBAL) connectivity spend. Costs are driven primarily
  by mobile data consumption, plus SMS and voice where enabled, billed against
  per-SIM rate plans under a negotiated, sales-led commercial agreement (prepaid
  SmartEnterprise shared pools or postpaid Enterprise billing). Usage is observable
  through the IoT Portal API via call detail records (CDRs), ongoing data sessions,
  per-SIM status with data / time limits, and account usage / billing reports.
  Because per-unit pricing is quote-based and not publicly published, the monetary
  rates here are not reconciled.
notes: >-
  Pricing is sales-led; verify per-rate-plan rates, currency, and billing frequency
  with 1GLOBAL during reconciliation. Meters reflect documented usage dimensions
  (data, SMS, voice, CDRs) exposed by the IoT Portal API. Reconciled is false.
