Probably a stupid question, but... (UK Crown Dependencies)

in Credit cards
When one holds a credit card in the UK proper, but uses it in the Crown Dependencies, would there be any overseas charges, and such? I'm visiting the Isle of Man and wondering about the implications. I'm not visiting elsewhere at the moment, but also curious about Jersey, Guernsey, etc.
Cheers.

It may vary from card to card, but I'm aware of at least a handful that treat Isle of Man as overseas.
It would be worth checking.0 -
It is Sterling, so there will be no funds conversion charges. However, your mobile phone will have 'roamed' and you WILL pay considerably higher to make and receive calls.0

You should be ok, but best to check with the provider.
It can also vary between members of the same group (RBS Group specifically to my knowledge) - I can withdraw £ from a NatWest/RBS machine from my Ulster Bank € account without any charge, but withdrawing € from my NatWest £ account in an Ulster Bank machine counts as forex and incurs fees!0
