How to check your phone charger
Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:
- 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
- A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
- 220–240V only – fine in New Zealand.
Plugs in New Zealand
Yes. You'll need an Australian (type I) adapter.
- Type I: Two flat pins in a V, plus an earth pin

Common questions
Can I use my UK phone charger in New Zealand?
New Zealand uses 230V, close to the UK's 230V, so your phone charger works normally. You'll need an Australian (type I) adapter.
What voltage is New Zealand?
230V at 50Hz. The UK is 230V at 50Hz.
Do I need a voltage converter for my phone charger?
No. The voltage is close enough to the UK's, so you only need a plug adapter if the sockets are different.
