## Networks

- Isle of Man: Pronto GSM (4G)

## Which Isle of Man eSIM plan do you need?

Pick by how long you stay and how much you use your phone.
- **A city break in Douglas:** for 3 days of light use, such as maps, messages and email, take 1 GB for 7 days.
- **A fortnight touring from Peel to Port Erin:** for 14 days with standard use, such as social media, music and some video, go for 10 GB for 30 days.
- **A long stay of 30 days:** for standard use across the whole month, 20 GB for 30 days covers you.
- **Isle of Man and beyond:** if your trip also takes in other places, the [Europe eSIM](/esim/europe) covers Isle of Man too.

Most plans can be [topped up](/help/top-up-esim), and the longest one runs for 30 days.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Isle of Man?

Your eSIM joins Pronto GSM, the island's mobile network, and your phone picks it up by itself. Pronto GSM runs on 4G, so that's the connection you'll use for WhatsApp, maps and messages, and there's nothing to choose on your side.

Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom or Norway, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. If you'd like the details, read about [how IP addresses work abroad](/help/ip-address-another-country). Daily plans slow to 384 Kbps once the day's allowance runs out.

## Using your phone in Isle of Man: data tips

- **Landing:** Land at Isle of Man Airport (IOM), switch your eSIM on, and turn on [data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) for the eSIM line. Install it at home on Wi-Fi first, and arrivals will be simple.
- **Getting around:** Hopping between Douglas, Peel, Castletown, Ramsey and Port Erin? Your eSIM runs on 4G with Pronto GSM, so save your route before you set off.
- **Staying in touch:** Message people on WhatsApp, and your home number stays on for calls and texts. Keep both working with the [WhatsApp and home number steps](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number).
- **Running low:** Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data mid-trip. After your daily allowance, speeds drop to 384 Kbps, so check your usage in the evening.
- **Plan length:** Daily plans run from 1 to 30 days, so pick the length that matches your trip.

Your eSIM connects to Pronto GSM in Isle of Man. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### Can I top up my Isle of Man eSIM?

Yes. Most Isle of Man plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Isle of Man plans route your data through United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Isle of Man are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Is there 5G on the Isle of Man?

No. Pronto GSM, the network your eSIM uses on the island, runs on 4G, so 4G is the connection you'll get. Everyday jobs like maps and messages suit 4G well.

Yes, WhatsApp works on the Isle of Man. Texts, photos and voice notes go over your eSIM data, so you can stay in touch with home as you always do.

### Can I use maps around Douglas and Port Erin with an eSIM?

Yes. Maps, messages and email count as light use, at about 0.25 GB a day, so getting between Douglas, Peel and Port Erin shouldn't use much of your plan.

### Can I share my Isle of Man eSIM data with a laptop?

Yes, your eSIM works as a hotspot. Hotspot counts as heavy use on the Isle of Man, at about 1.8 GB a day, so pick a bigger plan if your laptop is busy. Light tasks like checking email use far less.

### Can I use a Europe eSIM on the Isle of Man?

Yes. The Europe, Europe & Morocco and Global eSIMs all cover the Isle of Man. If your trip takes you further than the island, one of these lets you carry on with the same eSIM.

### What should I switch on at Isle of Man Airport (IOM)?

Switch on data roaming as you land at Isle of Man Airport (IOM), then choose your eSIM as the line for mobile data. Keep it switched on for the whole trip, so messages and maps stay with you from Douglas to Port Erin.
