cell phone adapters in UK and Europe

We will be spending two weeks in England, Switzerland and France . We have two iphones, a 4S and 6. Does each country need its own adapter or is there a universal one that will take care of charging our phones? Thanks!

England needs a different configuration than the other 2. I suggest you get one of those "universal" adaptors that have several sets of pins that unfold and will cover you just about anywhere. Like this:

All you need are plug adaptors, and the UK and Europe use different plugs. Virtually every drugstore in the world sells a set. But your phone itself is dual voltage, so all you need is a plug adaptor.

My only advice: Don't buy the adaptor set from Apple, which is not designed to use with the small iphone plug charger.

I use a 4 port USB travel charger with multiple plugs (US, EU, UK, AU) and could not be happier. http://amzn.to/1JixYIO
