Is he going to use this device after the trip? If not he's looking at a long term solution to a short term problem. A phone or pager will have to be bought, and an email-capable one will be expensive. Then there are the monthly service commitmants which he will have to continue to pay after the trip. Is he camping in wilderness areas where there is no internet access? Most hotels and campgrounds have it available, as do truck stops and coffee houses. If he doesn't have access to a laptop he can buy a used one for less than the price of a phone and use the service that he already has.
