Varying different combinations of region codes and plugs can often be daunting when planning on visiting another country, especially if you've never been there before. This guide was specifically written to stop travellers worrying if they can power the iPhone 3G abroad.When staying in Georgia these useful instructions show powering your iPhone 3G using their Type F or C Georgian 220 volt 50Hz wall outlets. When you are travelling to Georgia from a different country check your iPhone 3G can accept a 240 volt supply. If the iPhone 3G originated in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts ensure the iPhone 3G is dual-voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) else you may need to use an additional transformer to stop the device from overloading whilst powering it up.
