Sorry just a quickie. Last year we bought an iPad for a relative just for games and stuff.
Following an operation he is house bound for a few months. They don’t have internet or even a mobile phone .
What is the best and easiest way to get him some internet?

mifi.

Three will sell you a 3G mobile wifi hotspot preloaded with 3GB data (that will last for 3 months) for £60.

We used a similar one when touring around Australia in a campervan and it was great. Check coverage where they are though – although you have a bit of flexibility with where you place it (can keep it by a window, etc) if it’s poor signal there then you’re a bit stuck.

Other networks do similar, but Three is usually cheapest for the device and a few months of data.
