Dial-up should be good enough for Electrum?
How about Breez in POS mode through Android emulation? Beta though.
I believe Blockstream broadcasts the chain via satellite. If he can get a compatible dish he can detect being paid but with a large delay.

Electrum is a SPV (= lightweight) wallet. I'm not sure what do you want to read? You can check out the Satoshi's Bitcoin paper, Section 8, "Simplified Payment Verification" for a technical explanation of why downloading the whole chain is not necessary for an SPV wallet.
