I have a dual voltage travel flat iron I bought in the US and want to use in India. Will this plug work for that? Will it work for iPhones? Thanks.

Yes, this adaptor works in India --but it will not work in Turkey. Turkey only uses two prong.

Yes, I was in India for Spring Break this year, and I am in Turkey right now.

If the iron has a standard 2-prong U.S. plug, this converter should work for it. I used the converter to recharge my iPad while in India with no problem. I had read on some online sources that electrical currents were sometimes erratic in India, so I also carried a surge protector. I plugged the converter into the wall socket, the surge protector into the convertor, and my device into the surge protector. This might be overkill, but it worked for me. Good luck and have a great time!

Should work with phone. I used it for my iPad most days. Also I found that most hotel have a plug you can borrow if you have a problem. I also found that dual voltage appliances are slow to heat and don't get as hot as here in US.

Yes it would. I bought it to use for my hair straighter. You may have to buy an adapter for the plug in India. It come with a European plug.

Yes. Just get the proper plug adapter. This device is not a transformer so if the country has 220v then all your devices plugged in (not USB ports) will get 220v. The USB still will deliver 5 volts for your iPhone for example.

This will work with phones ipad etc..but for heat appliances make sure u have one that says that it can convert to 110 from 220 ( like travel iron straightener or hair dryer) or just buy an Irish hair dryer

If your "chargers" are dual voltage then yes. My cameras (Nikon, Panasonic, Canon) chargers were all dual voltage and the iPhones are also dual voltage. You can check by looking on the charger to see "110-220". Hope this helps. Note: you will need the proper adapter for India (type D).

I don't think so. The USA is 120V and I believe India is 230V. It is a USA plug A&B; and India used C&D; according to the internet. I don't think this product would work in India.

India uses 220-240 V. Have spent twelve months there. You do NOT need a voltage transformer for most cameras, phones, laptops, iPads, etc. Look on the AC charger: If it says "110-240" you are fine WITHOUT a transformer. All you need is a plug adapter, which costs only a couple of bucks and can be easily found all over India.Also, I would never recommend going to Radio Shack for anything you are unsure about.

I had no probs with my iPad and iPhone by plugging them into one of these grounded adapters. You need the adapter to fit into the wall outlet. They do not change the voltage (220) but simply allow you to plug in. You may want to check that your laptop will run on 220volts (most do), but definitely check first!

I have not used this particular one in Europe . I was in India recently and had another dual voltage flat iron with me....not a professional one like this. It heated up beautifully with me using my wall adapter. After doing half of my hair, though, it suddenly blew up, and I had to throw the flat iron in the trash. Hopefully that wouldn't happen to this particular model, since it's a professional one, but can't say definitely if it would work well or not. It should, as it's dual voltage, but then again, the one I used was supposed to work in Europe, as well, and didn't.

Yes. Your US plug fits into the adapter, and then you can plug the whole thing into the UK socket. Works fine for smartphone, laptop. NOTE - if you're using this for a hairdryer, curling iron, etc., you will also need a power-voltage adapter. I've found it easier (and safer) to just buy a travel hairdryer, curling iron, etc. through Amazon that can handle US and UK voltage.

Hi Jennifer,Make sure to buy a universal adapter when traveling oversea this shouldnot affects the temperature setting.I used this flat iron in Montreal had no problems,but always check your setting before using.Have fun traveling.

Depends on the outlet in India, if it is adopted from UK, then it will not work

I used this in Poland in 2013 for my curling iron. But know this: it is an ADAPTOR plug, meaning that it only let me plug my curling iron into my POWER CONVERTER. I needed both kinds of units. The power converter plug fit into the wall socket and converted the electric supply's voltage, but I still needed to adapt my appliance plug to fit into the converter box I had purchased. Converters are often available at Walmart and other stores for about $20-$30. If you are only going to take a hair dryer, keep in mind that most European hotels provide hair dryers in rooms, or upon request. That would save you from dragging your own appliance. If you need an adaptor for ONLY an Apple phone or iPad or laptop, then this is the plug for you (no power conversion needed on Apple products). I can not speak to other brands as I have no familiarity with PC's that run microsoft.

I used it in China for my laptop mostly, but it should work with iPhone and hair dryer.

Most electronic devices are capable of handling dual voltage. This adapter worked fine in Italy last month with our iphone, blackberry, digital camera battery charger. The voltage is usually imprinted on the device. Smaller appliances like a hair dryer or flat iron, would need a converter, but I would hesitate to do it. I have heard that the appliances can overheat or burn out even when using a converter.

This comes with a 2 prong plug but rounded ones that are mostly used in India. Something like this - http://shanuindia.com/electrical/extension-cords-spike-busters/2pcs-2-pin-conversion-plug-flat-to-normal-indian-socket/ Since there is no voltage converter, you won't be able to use it in the U.S. using a simple pin converter. You will have to use a transformer pin of some kind for this to work here. Hope this helps!....

I used the adapter in Israel last June 2013, and it worked great with my dual voltage curling iron. We bought two of the same adapter just in case, and we charged our iPhones with them. The purple color helps to see it easily and not leave it behind.
