Isle of Man travel data guide
A Isle of Man eSIM from RoamZivo is a prepaid data plan for Isle of Man that you install before you fly. Plans in Isle of Man run on Pronto GSM, on 3G/4G. The eSIM is data only, so your own SIM stays in for calls and texts.
There are 6 plans to choose from. Data sizes run from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity from 7 to 30 days, and prices start at $2.99. Hotspot sharing is supported on every plan. Top ups are available on the fixed data plans and go onto the same eSIM.
Visiting more than one country? The Global eSIM covers Isle of Man and 126 other countries on one plan, from $18.99.
Your days start the first time the eSIM connects in Isle of Man, not when you buy, so you can install it at home days early. For a week of maps, messaging and social apps, most travellers are fine with 3 to 5 GB. Video calls or streaming need more. Travel data in Isle of Man from RoamZivo arrives as a QR code by email, with a copy kept in your account.
Isle of Man FAQ
Does the eSIM work everywhere in Isle of Man?
It connects wherever Pronto GSM has signal, which is the same network local customers use. The eSIM is data only.
When do my days start?
On the first connection in Isle of Man, not at purchase. The plan selected above (3 GB) runs for 30 days from that moment. You can install the eSIM at home and the clock stays still until you connect.
Do I get a local phone number in Isle of Man?
No. The eSIM is data only. Your own SIM stays in for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working over the eSIM data.
Can I share data with my laptop?
Yes. Hotspot sharing is supported on the plan selected above, so your laptop or tablet can use the eSIM data through your phone.
Is there a one day eSIM plan for the Isle of Man?
No. The shortest plan for the Isle of Man is 1 GB for 7 days. A day visitor would buy that plan and simply not use the remaining days. There are no unlimited plans on this page either.
Does my UK mobile plan already cover the Isle of Man?
We cannot answer that for you, because it depends on your carrier and your plan. Ask them before buying. If they charge roaming on the Isle of Man, an eSIM from this page is a fixed cost alternative for data.
Is 5 GB enough for a week on the Isle of Man?
Yes, for most people. 5 GB covers a week on the Isle of Man with daily maps, browsing and photo sharing. The 5 GB plan lasts 30 days, and you can top it up if a few days of video use it faster than planned.
When do the days start counting?
They start when the eSIM first connects to a network on the Isle of Man. Purchase and installation do not start the plan. Install at home, keep the line off for the crossing, and turn it on when you land or dock.
Do I need to remove my own SIM?
No. Your own SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and texts. Set the eSIM as the mobile data line while you are on the Isle of Man, and switch data roaming off on your own SIM.
How do I get more data during my trip?
Top up the plan you already have. All six Isle of Man plans support top up, so the extra data lands on the same eSIM. If you have trouble, email support, who answer seven days a week.
Can I tether my laptop on the Isle of Man?
Yes, hotspot is allowed on all Isle of Man plans. A laptop can use a gigabyte in an afternoon of video calls, so choose 10 GB or 20 GB if you will be working this way for more than a day or two.
How do I top up if I run low?
Open My eSIMs, pick this eSIM and choose a top up. It goes onto the same eSIM, so there is no new QR code to scan.
