Various combinations of frequencies and region codes can often cause confusion when planning on visiting a different country, especially if you've never visited before. With only a handful of different types of common standards being used throughout the world this article shows exactly what you'll need to purchase in advance to power the iPhone 4 in Mauritania. When you're visiting Mauritania this page has useful instructions showing you how to power your iPhone 4 using the standard 220 volt 50Hz C Type plug outlet, with the Mauritanians using a Europlug for wall outlets. If travelling to Mauritania from a different region check that the iPhone 4 can be charged using a 240v supply. If your iPhone 4 originated in a country which uses a lower voltage (for example 110 volts) check your iPhone 4 is dual voltage (marked with 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional power transformer to prevent the device from being damaged when powering up. These instructions assume that you are running Apple iOS 7 or greater on the iPhone 4.
