Isle of Man

I am travelling to the Isle of Man in June and wondered if my phone would work there, and if so, will there be additional charges?

Thanks

Yes, @Crgmac . You may use your usual UK allowances in there with up to 50 GB (contract) or 25 GB (PAYG) data per billing month if you have more. If on contract & your contract started after 07/07/2021 there'll be a £2 / day charge for using your UK allowances in EU or alternatively you may buy the Roam Abroad Pass for £10 / month charged pro-rata. There are no extra roaming charges for PAYG.

If you are on contract, remember to text ROAMING to 150 before you leave UK to ensure roaming is enabled on your account.

The Isle of Man has its own Mobile Opeperator (Manx Telecom) so you need to treat it, as with the Channel Islands, as a Network Roaming Region, so setup your Network Roaming to the IOM as you would for any EU Network Roaming and setup your Roaming visit accordingly.

Just to be clear, although the IOM is part of the UK, EE will make additional charges for you to use your mobile there by paying in advance or paying for services as you use them

@Traveler : IOM isn't part of the UK. It is a self-governing British Crown Dependency. Hence EE does not allow you to freely use your UK allowances there but does count it part of its EU Zone for which you are charged £2.59 / day to roam.
