Adapters for cell phone charger in Brazil?

I am clueless when it comes to voltage. What will I need to be able to safely plug in my cell phone charger while in Rio de Janeiro? Will I need a converter?... or any kind of plug? I don't fully understand terms in voltage. Knowing the type of plug will be super helpful. Thanks!

Hey, i'm brazilian and live in Rio.

If you're coming to stay in a hotel, most of them have 110v and 220v sockets, but, at home, the usual is 110v.

The plug is like this:

Been to Brazil 5x. No need for cell phone chargers (as long as you remember to bring one!). Also assuming you're coming from the States.

And have a wonderful trip to Brazil, it's a magnificent country.

All cell phone charger have 2 voltage, 110/220v.
In Rio de Janeiro we use 110v. Your cell phone will charge without problem.

I dont either ..

but I just used my own cell phone charger .. and hair dryer and other things .. with no problems. I used my cell phone charger in Rio, Salvador and Sao Paulo.

maybe it wasn't enough of a difference to effect it ?

good luck

Hello.

In Rio de Janeiro the voltage is 210V, so you won't have problems, I believe.

For more information, I suggest that you visit http://www.brazilhotel-link.com/ or http://www.lonelyplanet.com/worldguide/brazil/rio-de-janeiro/ .

On the Lonely Planet website there is info about plugs and adapters right on the front page link!

Hope that it helps!
