How do you know that a mobile number +447xxxxxxxxx is a text to the Channel Islands and Isle of Man and subject to a charge?
That I can find there is nothing to distinguish a UK mainland mobile number from a Channel Islands and Isle of Man based number, so you incur charges without any knowledge until your monthly bill arrives with extra charges. Surely that is wrong?

Mobile telephone numbers provided by Isle of Man operators Manx Telecom and Sure Isle of Man are prefixed with the national dialling code 07624 followed by a 6 digit number that allows 6 digit dialling when calling on the Island.
As for the Channel Islands.....
