There is very easy thing you can do. Just ask BT to include your name in the phone bill of the friend you are staying with and to send you a copy of the bill with both names. It usually takes no more than 5 working days for the new bill to arrive - and that will solve all your problems with the banks
When I was doing this I had a small problem - the first time I requested such operation from BT, the operator I spoke with obviously was not aware of what can and can not be done with my bill as she was claiming that I cannot do that. The same day I called them again and spoke with a different person who sorted this for me for 2 minutes. I hope you will not have the same experience but in case you do just try different person
Cheers

Same HSBC i have opened without living here for 3 months. Just register yourself by phone with HSBC for new account. Phone No is 08457404404. They will ask your details and tell them u need only basic bank account. ( it is without credit facilities) also tell them you need to transfer money from ur home country to this account immediately.
In UK getting these basic facility like bank, NI no. one need to be HIGHLY SKILLFUL!!!!!!!!!! and try same thing different time with different people and u will get different answers. Here people look at new comers as Criminals ONLY. Also when u so truthful, things won't work here. Because here people live with more criminals than our home country. ( please others not to take my opinion seriously, it is purely my opinion about UK and not to hurt anybody)
So try with out getting frustration...
regards,
