What it means for your plugs
Your plugs
Your Australian plugs won't fit. Mexico has Type A and B sockets, and a Type A adaptor (two flat pins) fits both.
The power
The power is 127 V, lower than the 230 V at home. Check the label on each charger: if it says 100–240 V, it works there with just an adaptor. Hair dryers and straighteners made for 230 V often don't.
- Type A: two flat pins
- Type B: two flat pins and a round earth pin

Adaptors for Mexico
Our Mexico adaptor guide isn't written yet. Until it is, any Type A adaptor that takes an Australian plug will do the job.
