If he wants a tablet just get him one & let him get on with it. Most tablets are WiFi only. Ie you have to have an internet connection like at home but away you need a campsite with WiFi that might not be that good. Plenty of free WiFi available in pubs & supermarkets etc.

You can get tablets that take a SIM card so access the internet from data if WiFi is not available but of course there is a monthly cost same as a phone sim.

I suggest you get him a 10inch WiFi only android tablet under £200 & a folder type case to keep it in to avoid damage.

I use a sim card in my ipad. No monthly fee. This year I have been using an EE PAYG sim. I only need it for the occasions we are away in the caravan, so just pay for a one month data plan. When that runs out, I wait until we go away again and purchase another one month plan.
During summer months when we are likely to make frequent trips, I but a 90 day plan.
There is no need to have a rolling contract. I also have a very simple mobile phone designed for "seniors" It does phone calls, text messages and photos. All I need of a phone. PAYG again. I top up £10 about every 3 or 4 months.
