    Is it possible to use a 48 sim in a dongle for a laptop, its for an elderly person that just uses it for surfing the web, there is good three signal in the house, 10.99 pm seems a good deal for someone that only uses occasional internet,

    Get a cheap 4g smartphone and turn it into a hotspot.

    How much data? Vodafone sell 5GB for 5e / 28 days which should cover most light usage.

    IMO a tethered smartphone is a better option for occasional use as it can also be used for calls and text if needed. Dongles are a bit fiddly to change settings for someone who might not be familiar with troubleshooting any connection problems.
