Isle of Man Card Charges

I will be travelling to the Isle of Man this summer and was wondering whether I will be charged extra for using a credit/debit card over there as you would do abroad.

    No, actually like the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man is not part of the UK. It is a crown dependency which has its own government.

    My mobile phone company does class the Isle of Man as non-UK for making calls and charges international rates, hence why I am asking about bank cards.

    All very true, but for the purposes of the question that you were asking, k_moor is correct.
