Need help with plugin for cell phone

I was able to charge my cell phone with just an adapter, but I got a treo, whcih is an world phone.
I would check with the manufacturer of the phone or service provider.
About the iron.You need one that is dual voltage if you don't want to carry a heavy convertor. You can buy one from ebay or I just saw one at BigLots today, a close-out type of store here in Northern OH.
I also bought a baby hair dryer, very small, it fits in my purse.There are many on the market now days.Do a google search for travel hair dryers.
Hope it helps.

We have found that a surprising number of European hotels do not have hairdryers. Your hotel websites may state which amenities they provide in the room, if a hair dryer is not on the list you probably want to assume it does not come with the room. The question you ask about electrical adapters has been discussed frequently on the HelpLine, to retrieve these discussions use the search box in the upper right corner to search on key words such as adapters, converters, voltage, etc. The bottom line is that if your device says something on it like "input 100 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz" then you only need an plug adapter and not a voltage converter. The plug adapter(s) you need may depend on the countries you are visiting.

Just returned 2 weeks ago. Some hotels had hair dryers--some didn't. You asked about an adapter for your cell phone. As Kent said, if the piece of equipment you need to charge says "input 100-240 V AC 50-60 HZ" then all you need is that country's plug that will attach to the end of your plug. Europe has a different plug than Great Britain. I purchased a Travel Smart by Franzus All-In-One-Adapter with a power surge protector at Ace Hdwe. Used it for the cell phone and digital video/still cameras. It contains all the plugs you may need. Felt the surge protector was a good idea for these expensive items. If your hair dryer, curling iron, etc. has a switch that allows you to select 100V or 240V, you will still need that country's plug to put on the end of your plug. I buy a few of those small plugs so that I can use multiple appliances at the same time and in case I lose it. If your appliance can't switch voltage, you will need to use a convertor--also at the above store.

Lyndsey, look at that hard-to-read plastic type on your charger. If it says something along the lines of 240V anywhere on it then yuo just need adapter plugs for the countries you're visiting. If it doesn't, then you can buy one that is 240V rated for your cell phone model with a google search for only a few dollars (you'll still need adapter prongs, though).

Lyndsey,

My first question is whether your Cell phone is a quad-band GSM model, and therefore able to be used in Europe?? Also, are you on a contract plan or PAYG with either T-Mobile or AT&T? It would help if you could clarify those two points.

Regarding the Chargers, as the others have said you need to check the nameplates on EACH device that you plan to travel with. If these indicate "Input Voltage 100-240VAC, 50/60 Hz", then you'll only need Plug Adapters to use these in Europe. Be sure to check whether the device has a switch to select the alternate voltage.

If the label states "Input Voltage 115 VAC, 60 Hz", then you WON'T be able to use these in Europe unless you use a Voltage Converter. There are two principles of voltage conversion used and it's important to select the CORRECT method for each appliance. Basically, Hair Dryers and high wattage appliance can use a solid-state model, while electronics need a Transformer.

If you need further info, post another note.
