How does it fit sockets of other countries? How can this be a world wide charger if it can't be plugged into the socket?

Its not the prongs that make it a "world wide charger", its that the charger itself adapts to the different currents of electricity. Different countries sometimes use different "types" of electricity, whether it be ac/dc, different voltages, etc. Most people dont realize this and think they can run any electronic device anywhere in the world as long as they have a physical adapter. Not true. You can buy a travel set of adapters for the plug and take this anywhere without having to worry about the type of power your using.

I used mine in Ireland (220-230v standard), and it worked great. The label on the device is labeled as being able to accept 100v-240v, 50-60 Hz, so this charger will work anywhere in the world provided you have the proper plug adapter.

As far as I understand it, you have to buy converters for any electrical items that you want to use in another country. You may also have to buy the correctly shaped electrical plug that will fit into the outlets, which then attaches to the the converter. You should put this issue into a search. I did it recently for a different country I will be traveling to. You'd be amazed at all the configurations that other countries use.

Not the one sold here in the US. I don't know if you order one from the UK or other European versions of Amazon. I would think it would say on the specs on those sites if it was compatible with European power sockets.

I bought a US model though I'm on continental Europe. I use an adapter for the socket, and that works fine. Also, don't forget to replace the lamp that comes with it with one of your country, since the US lamp works on a different voltage and will go 'pop' otherwise.

The plug in the unit itself fit the sockets in Italy. However, for s few dollars more, I bought a set of the adaptor plugs which fits nearly all the different plugs around the world.

The charger that comes with it says that its suitable for European voltage. You might want to need a simple fit to size socket adapter depending on the country. Actually the out connection is the standard 5 volt USB which means it can be charged off of a USB socket.

Joel, there's no issue with using the charger across different regions - as you stated, it just needs a necessary plug adapter as for example here in the UK we use a three rectangular pin socket rather than a two pin round one. But these adapters are widely available.Robert

As with all laptops there is a AC to DC power converter box that is part of the charging cable. The box has a removable plug end that can be replaced to match the outlet shape you have available. The AC current input voltage is 110-220 volts, meaning it should work just about anywhere in the world.

I'm not high techy so I can't comment on the voltage of my wall sockets but you can plug it into stardard American wall sockets. There is a retractable plug in the main charger to do this with

If you look at the fine print on the charger that came with it, it should read that the input is 115 - 240 volts which will work in any country. Sometimes you need an adapter, but they are easy to find where ever you are at and much cheaper than buying adapters here for foreign countries. Also, you should have gotten an adapter with it for plugging into the lighter socket on a car. If you rent a car, charge it there. Hope this helps.

There is an adapter piece for France. However, I have to admit that when I tried it, it did not fit snugly enough into the sockets. Unless I pressed a table against it, it did not engage.

This charger plug is made for US market. If you travel outside of US, please use a converter as the outlet is different from US.

This is just a USB charger. It has multiple connectors for use in different countries, but it only has USB ports.

Never checked it on other countries.There are different adapters from the same brand for other countries.Anyway, I am very satisfied with this product ( I bought several units)

This comes with a charger that plugs into a standard American 110V plug. If you're going to plug it into something different you need an adapter...

It comes with a European Standard wall adapter in the box, so if you are in the US or Caribbean (like me), it won't fit your standard socket. Not to worry though, because the phone charges with a standard micro-USB cord, so you can charge from a laptop or PC. If you definitely have to charge from a power outlet, then it isn't too hard to find a suitable USB wall adapter in any electronics store.
