Varying different standards and voltages can all be confusing when planning on staying in a foreign country, especially for the first time traveller. These instructions have been specifically written to stop you having to worry if you'll be able to charge your mobile phone abroad.This step by step guide shows you exactly how to supply power to the mobile phone in Yemen using the standard G, A or D type Yemeni 230 volt 50Hz plug outlets. You will discover that power will change from region to region so we suggest reading the power supplies and Asia page for a full list of regions and countries. If you are visiting Yemen from another country please check the mobile phone can accept a 240v supply. If the mobile phone was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 120 volts make sure your mobile phone is dual voltage (indicated by 100-240 volts) otherwise you may need to use an additional power transformer to stop the device from being damaged whilst powering it.

These instructions are for a generic mobile phone and assume the phone has a standard micro USB port, Bluetooth connectivity and a headphone socket. For all the latest phones please visit the Mobile phones page for a full list of makes and models.
