Just arrived and looking for accommodation?
It helps if you are reachable by phone!An easy option is to get a mobile phone with a pre-paid simcard for the first few weeks. Once you have settled down you can apply for a cheaper phone subscription. It is possible to keep the same phone-number when changing from prepaid to subscription.
