Ready for a trip to North America? Brilliant! But have you given any thought to the different plug sockets and adaptors you’ll need? Every country has its own plug type, and it’s a real pain to discover you need a different adaptor when your phone’s teetering on 1% battery.
Have a look at the list below for some popular destinations, along with the type of sockets they use, the voltage, and frequency. You’ll also find out if you’ll need a travel adaptor. Trust me, being prepared with the right gear can save you from that last-minute dash to an overpriced airport shop.
