    If you have a UK phone number, try Starling or Monzo. If you don't have a UK phone number, giffgaff will send a SIM to Thailand for you.

     

    If your Play Store (or whatever equivalent you use) is geolocked and you can't see the app, use a VPN. Zoog has a free monthly allowance and you can install it on a phone. It's not a great VPN, but it'll do for this if you don't want to pay for one. 

    Don't overlook the marvellous 'faux' UK landline numbers you can buy off skype - just the ticket for hoodwinking UK banks, GPs et all as to your whereabouts.

    How would he prove that he was resident at an address at which he doesn't live?   You really think that banks don't do credit and electoral roll checks on new account applications in person and won't ask where he banked previously?

    Likely with his DL, passport etc and much else that he's maintained in the UK - or is he as bereft of guile as you suggest?

    + a notified translation of my Tabien Ban as proof of address.

    Many are missing this from the OP 

     

    His bank gave him the heave-ho because he gave them them all that they needed to (basically insisted on it).

     

    No reason he can't start afresh with another UK provider using his brother's address and a more considered 'closed lips' approach with them.

  4. Ask them a contrived exacting technical question about one of the products. Keep generating questions till they leave you alone.

     

    Generally their product knowledge never extends any further than 'hab promoshan' and pointing to whatever today's must sell items are.
