The dont want the internet in south east asia....
They are in the uk for a further 4 months and want internet until they leave... :sigh:
If 3 (UK)have coverage in his area: Freedom Talk data SIM(Piggybacks on the 3UK network) 3GB PER MONTH for 90 days. 9GB OF DATA £12.95
He can pick up a 3 dongle for £20 or less, use up the included data and then swap the SIM.
To help check for coverage....
Go to Site Finder, click on the map and pop the relevant postcode in the box.
A map should appear, hopefully with some blue triangles.
You'll need to click on each of the blue triangles in turn, reading the details.
What you are looking for are UMTS masts under 'type of transmission' within 500 metres of the place of intended usage and the name of the operator. Finding one by '3' would be helpful in this case.
You can employ the coverage checker on the '3' website too.0
