wat voltage is in canada?

[mead]

Hello guys, I bought a cellphone and the charger has written on it

Input: 150V-240V~50/60Hz 0.2A
Output: 5.6V==0.4A

Now I know that in Canada it is 110V at 60Hz. So I need to know if I can use this charger in Canada for my cell since 150V is so close to 110V. This cellphone cannot be charged by USB, so I need to use the charger. Will this charger work properly or will it result in the cellphone, charger or both getting fried?

Many of you applicants, successful applicants, and prospective applicants are Electrical or Electronics Engineers going to do Masters in Canada. So you will be the best experts to answer my question above.

Please reply soon with your expertise.

u definitely need a socket adapter so might as well get a complete converter with step up transformer.
and yes u need a converter ...150V is odd voltage.
normally low input voltage down not damage the device but why take chances. for a a couple hundred rupees more u will get an adapter and converter together.

Thanks mead for your reply. I'll check electronics shops for the required parts.

By the way, didn't you notice the Bangladeshi flag avatar near my name? I won't be spending any couple hundred rupees in Bangladesh since the currency of Bangladesh is not rupee.

Thanks anyway.
