Newcastle residents, a few questions


Newcastle residents, a few questions?
Hi, I'll be going to the UK for the first time (for 1 year MSc Course) in Newcastle University... I will be living in "Leazes" area ... would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these: 1) Which UK mobile ServiceProvider (SIM card) is the best? (in terms of signal strengths) 2) Is it true that in the UK, if I use mobile GPS with Ovi Maps - the Navigation is free of charge? 3) What is the availibility of Taxi (cabs) in the city, especially at early mornings and late nights? 4) I will require a "hand held bidet" (hand shower) for Toilet, (since I am not used to cleaning 'without' water) ... where can I find that? any Sanitaryware shops are you aware of, or any huge market where I will probably find one? Thanks !!

Hi, all I can help with is the taxi question- there are absolutely loads, as well as a very good metro and bus system.

1) well i know orange and t mobile work fine in that area 2) i think it depends on your mobile price plan 3) taxi service is good early mornings, late nights it depends what night, weekends you may wait a whiile because 1000's flock to Newcastle for pubs 4) i'd recomend trying a shop called Peacocks (not the clothes shop) it's close to the Royal Victoria Hospital, and the University they sell disability aids etc, they may have what you want there. (not saying you are disabled, just if anywhere has that item they might)
