Phones, Plugs, and other Stuff for Travel Video Clips. Duration : 6.85 Mins.


Just a little video of miscellaneous travel-related stuff. In this segment we discuss: 1. International Voltage standards (110v for USA, Canada, Japan, and a few other countries; 220v everywhere else). Laptop, cell phone, and digital camera chargers often are able to handle both input voltages. 2. A quick look at different plug adapter shapes. Save some money and get the individual ones for each continent. 3. Outlet charger for USB Devices. 4. International cell phone standards (USA/Canada uses 850/1900Mhz, everywhere else uses GSM 900/1800Mhz). Buy a cheap GSM phone (make sure it's unlocked) and simply buy sim cards with prepaid minutes at your destination. NOTE: I forgot to mention to get a small bag/pouch to hold all these chargers, cables, and adapters. Trust me, it'll save you a world of frustration. This video was shot with an Olympus 770SW.
