Buying apps with a different SIM

Purchased apps are associated with the Google account, not with the phone number or the SIM

Even with the SIM removed on the phone you could download purchased apps.

You can't buy apps using your SIM's credit anyway, unless they are listed in Google Play's website as networks accredited by Google.
