Charging cell phone
 

So I am planning on getting a converter to use to charge my cell phone while in France. Has anyone had any problems with this? I know my dual voltage hairdryer can get overheated and stop sometimes. I don't want to burn up my phone!

You only need to worry about a plug adaptor. You can charge both your camera and phone without any converter.

Virtually all phones these days are rated to accept European voltage, so forget the converter. They're dicey at best, anyway - the cheap ones are legendarily unreliable. If you are concerned, look for the tiny print on the charger that says something like "Input 110-240" to reassure yourself that it is OK.

Last summer in Paris we charged phones, iPods, etc. with a plug adaptor and all were fine. Indeed most electronics these days work with multiple voltages. If you want to be certain, I would suggest that you suggest the web site of your phone's manufacturer. This is a common question that is often answered on the "FAQ" page.

I love you people! Thank you so much!
