Charging phone abroad

Hi all,

this may seem like a really stupid question but here goes. My daughter is going to Holland next week with the school and would like to take her mobile, can she charge it just using her ordinary mains charger and a travel plug or will I have to buy a specific 2 pin charger for her. Never used a mobile abroad so sorry if i'm being a bit dumb.

Thanks in advance.

    It's fine with just a travel adaptor and the same charger

    Thanks, didn't want her to do something stupid that might damage the phone.

    She would never damage the phone as the voltage is either the same or lower over there.

    I am currently using a jury rigged spanish charger for one of our phones with no problems.

    .....and, no I'm not in Spain :D
