UK Vodafone sim for sms
I've been using a Vodafone sim here for more than 15 years and it works just fine, it's one of those pay monthly deals. But there's a problem - if you ever get a new sim it needs to be 'activated' in the UK which means you need someone there to activate it and then mail it over which means that unless you happen to be going back it's a bit of a pain. Probably the same with most UK companies as I think as it's a 'telecom industry requirement' I believe. So don't just get one and have it mailed out here - not without getting someone to stick it in a phone first and 'activate it' - whatever that involves. I still have a larger sim card from before the current size was introduced and I can tell you that they can manually trim them down with some kind of cutting template but if that fails in some way then I'm stuck without the UK phone number for a while which is a bit of an inconvenience as I do use it for some things, so for now I leave it in a really old phone which is still chugging along. It may be the same for the modern e-sims issued in the UK. Activate first then never a problem.... -

Retired expat out there who has been issued with a TIN number?
Further, i think it important to note that the tax ID required, to meet what I believe are CRS requirements, is to be the tax ID of one's country of tax residency. So if one has a tax ID from say Canada, Canada, but one is no longer a Canadian resident, but one is a Thai tax resident, and if one has sums of money in a Canadian financial institution, then Canadian financial institutions can, and do, ask for the tax ID of the country where one is now resident. The Canadian tax ID is insufficient for a Canadian financial institution for a tax resident of Thailand (who is not a tax resident of Canada). I did read that one of those CRS instances (for allowing not having a TIN) is where some jurisdictions use a "functional equivalent" to a TIN. If a country uses a functional equivalent, that number must be provided. I suspect that in part may be why the Canadian financial institutions accepted my yellow-book/pink-ID # (which RD of Thailand advised could be my tax ID if the Thai RD activated it) and even thou I advised those institutions it was not yet activated as a Tax-ID, the Canadian financial institutions still accepted it. Presumably the Canadian financial institutions decided a legally valid number (that could become a Thai tax ID) qualified as a functional equivalent, until activated as an active Thailand tax ID.
