The 2Gb data plan does not roll over as far as I can see. It lasts for 30 days or until used if that comes first.

Your friend would not receive a USB dongle with the sim - he would need to buy one (afraid I cannot advise due to lack of knowledge)
Are you certain that the friend has a good signal in his home and also will not need more than 2Gb data per month?
If he gets a dongle, he would need to ensure that the APN setting was changed to mob.asm.net; this change should be explained in the manual.
