I think it may have something to do with the willingness of the telecoms administration to set up a special termination rate for a particular group of mobile numbers, or perhaps that there is already a high termination rate. I believe that this may be the case in both Man and Jersey with the added benefit that most international carriers lump them in with UK so that the impact of the higher rate is diluted.
