I bought an Ipod in the US, it comes with a charger which plugs in to
the wall. Can I use that charger in the UK? i.e is there
voltage/plug-point compatibility?
Thanks

Hello Ashkrish-ga

Yes, you can use that charger in the UK as long as you have a
three-pin plug of course!  On one of the sides of the charger you
should see that it states "Input: AC 100-240V", this basically means
that the charger can be used on any mains system around the world that
uses a voltage supply within this range.

Like you, I also bought a US iPod and I have successfully recharged it
with the type of plug that allows an electric shaver to be plugged
into the UK mains.  This adaptor plug cost me less than a pound at a
local electrical store.

Link to the shaver plug I used - see WJ1075:

The official Apple solution is to use the "World Travel Kit" which can
be bought from the Apple store for £29 and includes plugs from around
the world:

If you have any further questions regarding this subject please ask
for clarification and I will do my best to respond swiftly.
