    This can happen on the UK mainland without even setting foot on a ferry. I live in Cumbria, and very occasionally my phone will roam to Manx Telecom and I'll get a welcome to Manx Telecom SMS message.
    Yes, that can indeed happen and also in the Dover area with French networks. The big difference in the OP's case is that the charges are at a very high non-EEA rate. Although the Isle of Man is outside the EEA, most UK networks charge for roaming there at their EEA rate.
