One thing he definitely does not want to do is use whatever plan he has from your country in the US, the roaming charges will be brutal. I am quite sure T-Mobil has prepaid cards and his phone should work fine with T-Mobil or even AT&T, not sure if it wold work with Verizon and it's very unlikely it will work with Sprint as they are still using CDMA and all european phones are GSM phones. It will be best for him to go to a T-Mobil store once he gets there (many large malls in the US have one) and to ask what is his best option for the 2-months that he is ther.
