    Should do, but you might want to make sure it can handle our voltage.

    Good thinking.

    I'll need to check that out. I'm sure there are easy enough work arounds though.

    Oh yeah, a convertor would sort the power issue out for sure. I assume changing the charger for a European version would do the trick as well. My nokia charger accepts 100-240 volts so a plug convertor would do, girlfriend's accepts 180-240 so she'd need a different charger.

    I think all the newish nokia plugs accept 100-240v. At least, I haven't come across any bought recently that haven't.

    Is it possible for a sim free phone to work in usa ? it was purchased in the middle east, not ireland, so it was bought sim free.
