if you are going to Peru you need an adapter to recharge your laptop other than that there is no reason that it wont work, Nowadays they sell something called universal adapter this is a combination of all adapters in one body and might come in handy when you are leaving the country cheers:D

Will my battery charger work in Peru

Will my battery charger work in Peru?
I have a Canon SD 500 camera with a charger for the battery. I have been told that Peru has the same plugs as the United States but they have 220 Volts current instead of 120 Volts here in the United States. The back of the charge says 100V-240V 50/60 Hz Can I use my camera battery charger in Peru? Will I be able to plug it into the wall in Peru?

It seems that your battery is dual voltage therefore, you can absolutely use your charger in Peru. You will not need to buy or rent a transformer to use it because it conforms to U.S, European, and Peruvian standards. The only thing you will need is an adaptor plug which will allow you to plug the battery into the Peruvian socket. Adaptors are very inexpensive and you can find them on ebay or circuit city and such stores.

Hi, I traveled through Peru and just used a standard European charger for my camera. The great thing about these south American countries is that you can pick up all the power cables very cheaply in street markets. Good luck, you'll love it out there.

Yes you will be able to as it has a special switchmode power supply (going off it's labelling 100v-240v 50/60Hz) allowing it to be used in any country. Check the following link to find the correct plug adaptor for your US plug to Peru. They should be available in any electronics store or airport. http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm

Yes, you can. But you'll have to pay international roaming charges. The person in the US that you are calling will also incur international calling charges. It's $2.89 per minute for you to call the US from Peru, nights and weekends do not apply. Due to the different frequencies that the phone operators use in Peru, you'll have to check if your phone is supported in their network on the following list: http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Roaming/Central-South_America/Peru.html

I agree with the above answer, you will have to pay roaming charges but you can also rent-a-phone while in Peru, this service is offered at the airport when you are picking up your luggage or you could also go to any cellular technician that activates your phone in Peru with a Peru number and when you leave they will switch it back. The fee's will be a lot smaller then having to pay for roaming charges.
