Check out Gott & Wynne ERS European cover. My Green Flag personal cover also covers the Isle of Man. Have you looked at mobile phone usage in the IoM? Their charges can be quite high, nothing to do with Brexit, they have always tried to fleece us for many years. All part of the tax haven game I suppose.

Just checked mobile phone, I'm with Lebara (uses Vodafone network). IOM not part of UK or EU roaming. Classed as Zone 3 and is extremely expensive with no option for add on to include IOM ☹️. Better check my RAC cover.

Just checked with O2 - again, not classed as anything other than maximum cost - £7.20/Mb and £2/min for calls, utterly outrageous. Slightly concerned that the great mobile phone solution for everyday life management might fall flat out there - no Google maps, WhatsApp, email and even TXTs on O2 cost 40p each. Might need to look into the local SIM trick maybe....

I couldn't believe that I was being told the truth so called again and spoke to someone who clearly knew where the Isle of Man actually was. So yes, O2 do include IoM in their EU Roaming Zone, so panic over. https://www.o2.co.uk/help/pay-monthly/roaming-in-europe

Giffgaff in Isle of Man:
Goodie bags do not cover you so you need to load your account with a cash balance before travelling.
Receiving calls and texts: free Data: 20p/MB Calls: 15p/min Texts to Euro zone: 5p Picture message to UK mobile: 30p/MMS Picture message to any other mobile: 24p/MMS
