How To Access The Internet!

[buffymad]

This may sound like a strange question but here we go!

I have a friend who would like access to the internet but he doesnt have a computer or a smartphone. Other than going to a library to use their computers or similar, what's the easiest and cheapest way forward for him? He doesnt want to buy a computer/laptop (although was interested in the iPad) and obviously doesnt have broadband at home.

I know this means he'll have to buy SOMETHING to view it on but what's the best route (oh, and he's not a techie by any means you'll not be surprised to hear!!).

This might be a (relatively) inexpensive option.

This, or something similar, will let him get internet via his TV. Though, if he wants easy access to internet he may just need to put his hands in his pocket and fork out for broadband. He should be able to get it for around £20 a month.

I've got an iPhone and have a bolt on for internet access (never get near the limit and I'm on it all the time). If he got an iPhone, would he have to change his tarriff and get something similar. Am assuming he doesn't want to be charged each time he uses it !!

I would he needs to train his mind to require a gadget to use internet. So I would recommend a training foremost !
