A quick look at the Manx Telecom website tells me that on the pre-pay
tariff (which isn't actually that bad value) you can only roam onto
the O2 & TMobile networks.

However if you get a Manx Telecom Contract Sim then you can roam onto
all the UK networks it seems ...

Prefix is an 07624 number I believe ... wasn't this the same prefix as
Truphone were using for their VOIP service ? If so there were reports
of various UK networks charging extornionate rates to ring these
numbers
