Do I need a converter to charge my phone in Europe?
Do I need a converter to charge my phone in Europe? If your equipment has a transformer, as all Smart Phones, Computers, and tablets have, you don't need a converter - the voltage is converted by the transformer. European Voltage is usually 220, and the US is 110. So things without a transformer need a converter.
Can you charge your phone on European trains?
Most long distance trains in Europe have power sockets available. In some cases, the number of power sockets may be limited in the 2nd class cars. In 1st class, however, it's most common that there are power sockets somewhere around each seat.
