I think so, but I'm not sure. Look around online.

You must pay VAT in Germany, but this is included in the price you are quoted by the supplier. You do not then pay any VAT in the UK. The UK does not charge import duty on goods originating elsewhere in the EU, and laptops are not subject to any other excise duty. So when you know the price of the laptop, it includes all taxes

I went to Germany in February. You need to get an outlet converter that has long prongs because their outlets are concave. I bought one at Radio Shack that didn't fit into the outlet, so my host family went out and bought my one. I don't remember what brand it was, but it adapted to like 150 countries all in one converter. I only charged my digital camera and a friends cell phone using it, so none of my stuff got fried.

Hello, I don't know a particular brand but you can go to target or walmart and get a converter and plug adapter set for around 20 dollars. The set will have the adapters that you will need in Germany. Your camera and laptop are probably duel voltage and with the plug adapter you can plug them directly into the wall. Read the cable cord to make sure. It will say 100v-240v. This means it doesnt need the converter, just the plug adapter to put in the wall. Donna

Traveling in Germany and don't understand my new Nokia phone

Traveling in Germany and don't understand my new Nokia phone?
Just bought this phone at a local computer/tech store along with a sim card. 1) On the Nokia 2220 phone, all the setup instructions/menus/etc are in German. And 2) when I tried to buy minutes for the Ortel sim card (using my laptop), as soon as I put in country of purchase (Germany), it doesn't let me enter the country (the US) of my credit card (to buy minutes) it only lets me choose Germany, Netherlands or Germany. Can you help me?

it is not because of the phone; it is your sim card. as you bought it from germany, it is probably only designed for the germany network. by buying more minutes with the sim card, it has probably detected the country you are in through IP Address and has also detected a german sim card so will only accept german currency to top up your credit

Put it in a waterproof bag and swim it there. That would be free, notwithstanding the cost of the food you'd have to bring along with you to stay alive on the way
