   Setting his phone to use a static IP while connected to his home   
   network, would be a good idea if (when) he sets his router to use a   
   static IP for that device.  If he wants to connect to other networks   
   away from home he should set his phone to use DHCP with them if that's   
   what they expect (which it probably is, as a general rule).
