Digital Cameras Switzerland
What do I need in order my electronics to work over in Europe?
I’m planning on taking my cell phone, laptop, and digital camera. I’m confused about what convertors and adapters I need to take over there with me. I’m going to the countries France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechstenstein (knowing where I’m going might help).
Okay, I did some research and it seems that I have both A and B plugs and that the countries I am going to will mostly use C plugs. Any ideas for a good convertor? DO tey sell them at places like Wal-mart or Radio Shack or any other similar stores?
You’ll need a voltage converter and the appropriate plugs for each country.
Here’s a list:

However, your laptop may be dual voltage (it’ll say in the specs), so you wouldn’t need a converter.
As the above poster said, check with your cell phone provider about their international rate programs. Also, see if you can replace the SIM card; it’s cheaper to get a SIM for the country you’re in.
Or just rent/buy an international phone. I use these folks:

And be sure to bring along your camera battery charger; they’re horrendously expensive over there.
