Use 220 Volt Appliances in 110 Volt Countries

For those who travel frequently, facing a different voltage supply problem is very common. One might be wondering whether he can use a 220 voltage appliance in a country that run on 110 voltage power supply. To give an appropriate answer to this question, one must know the kind of device being used. There can be multiple voltage appliances like most of the computer supplies, the answer is ‘Yes’. But for other electronic equipments, a durable voltage converter is required.

There is a comprehensive answer on wiki.answers.com  from which the excerpts are being taken:

“It depends. If they are multiple voltage 110-220v appliances (such as most computer power supplies are) they obviously can be, taking special care to check if a switch has to be flipped to use the other voltage. If they are 220v-only devices, you need some sort of a converter to use them. That can be for instance a 110v/220v transformer, but if WILL be bulky and heavy as hell, and available for relatively small power only. Or you might use an electronic 110v/220v power converter, if you can find one, which might be considerably lighter and possibly available for higher power, but it probably won’t be that cheap either. If the appliance is a fairly generic one, buying a new 110v model is probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it. It should be noted that a lightbulb- or heating-element-type appliance should still work with the smaller voltage, just weaker, as opposed to the reverse situation of supplying 220v to a 110v device, which would certainly burn out. It is however rather pointless to try to do it, and HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED.”

Over 1 Million Americans Have Adware in their Smartphones

According to a report published by Lookout, a security company,  in the last one year, more than 1 million Americans have downloaded Adware from Android. The report says that a whopping 6.5% applications have Adware which gets installed into users smartphones.

It is quite difficult to identify an Adware but there are some points on the basis of which one can compare and find:

  • The app displays advertising that’s “outside of the normal experience;
  •  The ad “harvests unusual personally identifiable information; or
  •  The ad “performs unexpected actions as a response to ad clicks.

These revelations are very concerning and now, Android must have to do something to stop this epidemic. Samstores, a leading unlocked GSM phone supplier, highly recommends to read reviews before downloading any app.

Use U.S. Gadgets and Appliances in Asian Countries

The standard voltage system used in US is 110 volts but every other nation has their own voltage system. For example: Japan uses 100 volt while Philippines, Korea and China uses 220 volt as their standard voltage system. May of the hotels provide adapters to their customers which can make life easier though one must be educated about how to use the devices.

110 to 220 voltage converter

Adapters, Converters and Transformers, their function might be the same but usage are different. While adapters can be used easily but converters can be used with devices that have simple mechanical motors. The converter steps down 220 voltage to 110 volts thus enabling devices to operate on that voltage supply platform. If one uses the device without converters, it will simply burn it.

Buying 110 voltage converters is quite easy. Most of the sellers know your requirement and advise accordingly. You must tell them the name of country you are traveling so they will be able to analyze the requirement and provide you the solution.

Using Cell Phones Can Cause Trouble While Travelling in Airplanes

According to a study conducted by ABC news, operating mobile phones while traveling in a flight can cause trouble. A study conducted says that in four out of 10 instances, mobile phones caused trouble from 2003 to 2009. Here is the video

The report says that using such devices can be a reason of disruption in electronic sensors. Samstores recommends not to use mobile phones while traveling. It’s good to be on safer side, rather than pausing a threat to human lives.
