Mobal covers 160 countries and is essentially postpaid (they charge time to your registered credit card, then send you a confirming invoice so expense-account reimbursement is easy). The card is also very easy to use (no ring-back or special codes to use). The phone number is UK. There is no monthly fee, billing is in dollars and it's readily available (with a reasonably-priced phone or SIM-only) in the US from its website (there's a link from PPGSM).

T-Mobile UK prepaid also has an extensive roaming list, though it is traditional prepaid that has to be "recharged" or "topped up" with funds prior to use. Obviously it also has a UK phone number. They've also recently reduced their roaming prices within the EU. Easiest to obtain in the UK, though ebay UK is a possible source for Americans.

I have found both of the above to be highly reliable, though definitely on the pricey side compared to some of the other offerings popular on this site. Both allow text messaging and have voicemail.
