Easy way is use revlout card. Load in STG from your UK bank. Use card here for all purchases & cash withdrawal
als here in TL. Exchange rate far better than exchange Shops, banks here

You could use it without a physical card for any online payments here, like electricity, motile bills, road tax now I think. Might be of some use though clearly not as much as if you have the physical card. Also con tactless seems to be starting here as well. I think you might be able to use those pay points with just your mobile that has the app but without the physical card but not 100% about that.

you can but online through the app with text chat. it will try and AI answer questions first but if you type 'human' then you will be put in line for human agent. Not sure if you have not got the app and signed up however.

You can also converse with a Human if you type 'live agent'.
