Cost of Lebrara calls to Isle of Man from mainland UK
The Lebrara T&C state for contracts with inclusive minutes state however on checking what calls do cost to the Isle of Man there's no information. The Lebrara helpline appears to use a chatbox.

SPUSU Terrible in all respects
SPUSU are total rubbish.. Their customer service is a disgrace and they bill you after auto renewal dates so you don't get the chance to cancel.

Spusu Customer Service Feedback
I noticed on the main site there is 'too little feedback' on Spusu for a rating. I've been with Spusu for 6 months on a rolling 1-month unlimited SIM only at £29.90/month, for data only use in my 5G router. It's been a great experience. Good internet speed, solid connection, no drop-outs. I'm in a Vodafone only 4G service…
