Charging my phone in Sweden.

Do we need those wee adaptors that we use in Spain, or is it a different one? :confused:

You need a Swedish adaptor not a Spanish one, it's like their cash, as the opted out of the Euro and they have there own electrical system as the opted out of the European system :agree:

I think you have to declare it and pay 5% VAT.

BH, if you need to take a hairdryer, don't worry! That site is referring to USA voltages, hence saying you need step down tranformers to take the 220V down to 110V. The socket shown is a standard European schuko socket which will take the 2 prong shaver type plug, as well as your Spanish adaptor!

It will work, but you may get hit with roaming charges.

Caveat emptor.

You can exchange any Swedish electricity left in your phone at IKEA.

What happens if i phone home from a phonebox in Sweden and I try to reverse the charges?
