He should be able to sign up without any card.
And he -really- should never give out his debit card info. While the credit card companies are restrained by law on how much you are responsible for if someone frauds your card, the banks can and often will just let you deal with the mess.

Do know that when using a debit card, make sure it supports credit transactions.
For instance, if you swipe it at a grocery store, when it asks you Credit or Debit, if you have the option with yours to select Credit, you can.
I say this, because with a lot of cards, you will get charged a processing fee if you select Debit, or if your card is debit only. When a debit card can be used as a credit card, then that nullifies the fee to charge it as Credit.

Your mate can come on and cruise around SL to see if she/he likes it before stepping up to the next level. Upgrading to a Premium has it's reasons, but if your mate doesn't ahve a reason, then just come in and take a look around. Cheers! ~Jessy
