A mate of mine lives in the middle of nowhere in a Mobile Home (It's a caravan, but he prefers mobile home).
He gets hardly any 3G because it's a really shit area - but it does exist. His phone is capable of HSDPA, but usally defaults to 3G unless he walks a mile up the road towards the tower.
He only really wants to use his PC from his phone for surfing the internet. If he could somehow strengthen the signal he gets on his Three UK Mobile phone, all would be good in the world.
Is there any kit he can strengthen the signal from the Mast nearest to him, like some sort of gadget he could buy (cheap) or build - maybe a satellite dish? To improve his internet presence?
I know nothing of such things and he's emailing me (when he's out and about) things like this -

Will this type of thing work or should he just swallow a £150 lose in getting a proper gadget for the job - any suggestions?
This is the area and the mast location. The area is completely flat... insanely flat for that matter - Street View http://goo.gl/maps/2PPqW
A is the area he's in.
B is the mast - about 3 miles away.
He can see the mast from a roof he is near to.
