Get a skype out account and forward all your calls to the 07624 isle of man number.
According to the skype dialing wizard (use google for a link) the cost are 1,7 cent per minute.
since most calls are free to receive (not usa altough) it only cost you 1,7 cent per minute to receive a call.
Skype offers skype-in numbers in many countries so you could also get a UK, France, German or whatever number.
I have just ordered my 07624 number and will try this next week using skype and call forwarding.

By the way, it should be noted, that in many countries, the combo of US number, forwarding to Skype, then Skype forwarding to Manx, cell forwarding, what not, creates a bit of an annoying lag. It works, but, if someone is calling you from a marginal cell signal, it will be a really crappy, delayed connection.
Yes, it was nice paying only 1.7c a minute incoming while people were calling my US cell while I was in Dubai (forwarded to Skype, forwarded to Manx) , but, the lag made many of the calls unacceptable (for a business conference).
