Surely these guys could have managed a roaming agreement? Mine works in
pretty well every country I've ever visited with is - including the US,
Canada, France, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark,
Switzerland, ... You'd think they could agree roaming access across 60 miles
of Irish Sea!

Regards,
Jeremy

Hi Bryan
Sorry to hear about your mobile phone problems, if you had told me then
I would have let you use mine. The reason for yours not working is that
the I.O.M. is a different country and has its own phone network.
Although the network is owned by BT they (BT) decree that its completely
separate so no connectivity between the two systems. I have the same
problem when in U.K.
Anyway next time let me know and you can make a call on mine.  Alan

Hi Alan

Twas nice meeting you at the Isle Of Man. What an unexpected delight the
air display was. I did enjoy it.

For future visitors though I would add just one word of advice. Do not
promise to phone you loved ones to re-assure them that you have safely
transited 60 miles of the Irish Sea. The Rulers of the isle have decreed
that visiting mobiles shall not operate from the island, nor shall they
offer any other means of communication from an airfield.We were advised
that there is a local connection charge for the mobile service. Caused
some unnecessary worries.

All the best.   Bryan
