Norway outlet FAQ

Can I charge my phone in Norway without a converter?

Yes. Phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V) — you only need a plug adapter (Type F/C).

Is 230V dangerous for US devices?

Only for single-voltage (120V-only) devices like hair dryers — those need a voltage converter. Dual-voltage gear is fine on an adapter.

Norway uses Type F, C sockets at 230V / 50Hz.
