Fiji is located in Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean and uses the same type of adapter plug as Australia.

These adaptor plugs enable your appliance's plug configuration to fit into Australia electrical power outlets. Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Grounded adapter plugs maintain the ground from the electrical outlet to your appliance.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual/multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual/multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Fiji operates on 240 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

About Fiji

Geography

Fiji is located in Oceania, island group in the South Pacific Ocean, about two-thirds of the way from Hawaii to New Zealand. Fiji’s climate is tropical marine; only slight seasonal temperature variation. The mainland terrain is mostly mountains of volcanic origin. Fiji includes 332 islands; approximately 110 are inhabited.

Currency

The currency used is the Fijian Dollar (FJD). Major credit cards are widely accepted. Foreign currency and travelers cheques can be exchanged at banks and money exchange offices.

Staying Connected

Fiji has a modern telephone system. Most towns and large villages have automatic telephone exchanges and direct dialing; combined fixed and mobile-cellular teledensity exceeds 100 per 100 persons. Some of the islands do not have cell phone coverage. When traveling to Fiji you will need to have an unlocked or international cell phone with a Bahrain SIM card to make mobile calls. You will need an adapter to charge your cell phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Fiji has 22,754 internet hosts and 114,200 internet users. Internet connection is available at internet cafes and hotels, however the intenet speed is variable and it may be difficult to stream videos. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
