You will notice that the charger is multi-voltage (100-240v). You can either get a local charger with compatible pin OR buy an Adapter. Search for adapters in Amazon. I am sure you'll find something that matches your need.

The one I bought is dual voltage - 110 and 220 volts. Mine has the US plug but I have used in other countries will the proper adapter.

One needs to purchase an appropriate plug converter. Something like thatVCT VP18 UK to USA Plug Adapter Converts 3 pin British Plug to 3 Prong Grounded USA Wall Plug(you may google it)

You can buy outlet adapters (at various discount stores or on Amazon) that allow devices to plug into the different shaped outlets. If you live in the UK, be aware that US phone companies have a different paradigm when it comes to phones. In the UK and Europe, you bring your own unlocked phone (that has a radio called GSM) and buy a SIM card and phone plan. In the US, they expect you to buy their phone, which almost always has a contract (and a different kind of radio called CDMA; except for AT&T;, which uses GSM). If you want to talk US to UK, you can also look into free Internet video calling (like Skype or Google hangouts).

If the charger specifies ONLY 220 VAC, 50 Hz it won't work in America. If it specifies 110 -220 VAC, 50-60 Hz then it will and all you need is the plug adapter to fit U.S. wall sockets. But you can also purchase a charger locally so long as the output voltage and phone connector are compatible. This phone uses a very common charging voltage and phone connector (micro-USB).

The phone comes with a battery charger. Plug it as you would with other phones. If you are not in the USA, check the local electricity current. You may require step down adaptor. Hope this would help you. The phone is very good.

yes, that is because the European one is for European dual band and USA one is for USA dual band. That means you cannot use that phone in EU if you bought it in the USA and vice-verse. You will be better off buying unlocked quad-band phone on ebay or amazon, but before you buy it check independent sites to make sure it is quad band (or at least tri-band). In EU it is very common to have phone where you change the SIM in your unlocked phone to save money on roaming charges (depending what country you are at, since there is many more countries in EU than in North America).

He should have asked what kind of charger. It seems as though there are some issues with this being an international charger and it coming with the European one, not the U.S. Perhaps Amazon could pair it up with a U.S. charger option.

Hi, we can send you an EU adaptor for european use, you can add a note when you check out or send us a message with the order number. In fact, you can use any usb charger to charge the phone. Thanks.

Can't say about Europe but the plug needs an adapter because is German style and the manual is in Rumania. (Download the English version) I use it in Honduras. Good phone I mow several acres and put lanyard on it so as not to lose it. I also take it into the shower with no fear. It does exactly as advertised. Not smart but very durable.

This is a charger not a battery. So you need to buy an adaptor for European outlets. And plug it to a wall and use it to charge your phone.

The charger input is 100-240V. I used it in Europe and it worked fine. You'll just need a UK plug adapter.

We just got back from Europe and this phone only worked in England.I was extremely unhappy.I downloaded "Viper" to my regular smart phone and I could call and text back to the US.

I live here in the USA and my phone came with the appropriate plug for the outlets here. Not Euro plugs.

The phone is a gift for a friend in South America, do not know if it works in USA. I am sorry.

Their phones are international versions so the plugs don't work in American outlets. They put an adapter in there so you can use it.I contacted them before buying mine. The box was opened but the phone itself was still wrapped and had no prints on it.

I have the Samsung DUOS. I bought it from Amazon and the sim cards from T Mobile in the US and the UK. The charger arrived a few days later. I have a electricity converter for the US bought for staples just in case. The multi country plug that followed from Amazon permits me to plug the phone all over Europe. The second sim card is from the UK and was free from T-Mobile UK. Two of my 3 children live in the UK and I am there often and I use their address. I have used the earphones for the built in radio. I guess they would also work for the phone. If this does not answer the question I am happy to give you my phone number. I have the Samsung DUOS.

I didn't understand your question very well, but I don't think so. I bought this phone last year and the phone works just fine. I din't get any problem at all. I also don't know if the seller changed the product, but when I bought this phone, I am pretty sure that it was an UK version, because of the cherger and the 4G network.
