    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Thanks! Much appreciated!

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    I’m getting a bit confused here, so I want to make sure i get this right. I’ll forget about the hub of my original question, and if I understand correctly, the Tessan adapter should be sufficient as it has a 3 prong socket for my cPAP machine (whose brick voltage states 100-240V, meaning I just...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    The picture is not of my cPAP, but of the powered USB plug. I’m attaching pics of the USB hub with its plug attached to the adapter, also of the brick of my Resvent cPAP machine (it has the CE logo), then I have pics of the new Tessan adapter I just got, I think I could connect the USB hub plug...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Thanks to all. I saw the Tessan page but it says nothing (that I can find) about meeting CE standards. If the reviews are to be believed, it should be OK, but that’s just an if, who knows whom/what to trust? If I must buy one when I get to Spain, where can I buy one? I don’t expect to find a...

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Argh. I’ve never paid much attention to those CE marks, not understanding what they mean. I don’t know if it makes a difference that this adapter is not a voltage converter. I went to their website and they don’t say either. It’s already ordered, so I’ll look in the packaging to see if there’s...

    Ah, no worries! Thanks for the clarification!

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    Thanks! I actually just found this one that has 2 USB-A ports, a USB port, several power inlets (whatever they are called), and ordered it. The Camino provides good feedback and advice, and I’m not even there! Thanks! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WDQ3G2W?tag=casaivar02-20

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    I already had the 4 port hub as I was using it at home for things like USB microphones, recording equipment, etc, and it seemed like a great substitute for the heavy power bank. I do have a few gadgets, but it’s worth considering. Is this on Amazon? I’ll check into it, thanks!

    Is this powered USB hub setup safe?

    I’ve been stressing about charging my devices, so just want to make sure. I have this 4port Powered USB hub which I’m connecting to an adapter to fit European (at least Spain, since I know it worked there, it not sure if it’s different in France) outlets. If it says input 100-240 v, it should...

    Just a liner or sleeping bag? (Possible weather change)

    Thanks to all! I’m glad to see on the Decathlon website their map, they have stores all over, so I’m sure I’ll be able to get something if needed. So, just liner it is, I already had one, so I’m good!

    Just a liner or sleeping bag? (Possible weather change)

    I’ve been planning to just bring a liner instead of a sleeping bag for my Camino Frances, which I’m starting in August 11, so I’ve been planning for very hot weather, (up to 40 degrees C by some accounts) rendering a sleeping bag unnecessary, or so I’ve heard… …but then, It might take me well...

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    Update: It seems that the TMobile Magenta 55+ plan might be my best choice. With Verizon, the only plan that gives me unlimited data is way more expensive than the same service with TMobile. I still need to decide on whether to get a new iPhone. While my current antiquated iPhone 8plus serves my...

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    That was fun to watch, if only it was that quick! I worry most about segments like the one at 1:47-1:48, but as long as there are people around, I should be fine!

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    I’ll try to find out. At any rate, if they won’t mail it, I can always see what’s available at the airport, or if not possible, later that day in Pamplona. Thanks for all the advice!

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    I see myself but for some reason, it’s just my name but I dont’ seem to have the ability to start a phone call to myself. I’ll keep playing with this and see how it goes. That being said, your other response talked about possibility of international plans, and that might work. I’m now trying to...

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    I do have the ability to call into my number, enter a pin and retrieve voicemails, but I can’t figure out how to dial my own number from WhatsApp. So much I need to learn!

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    That’s great to know, thanks!
  19. HBS60

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    Thanks! I’ve read that one advantage of buying a SIM card at the airport is that the stores there would have more experience in activating cards for tourists, not so much in any random store. This may not be much of a problem at the Camino since I imagine that they do have the experience. I...

    Phones, Sim Cards, Choices and Questions, Oh, So Many Questions!

    Thanks, good to know! It’s nice that the Verizon thing maxes out at $100/billing cycle, but I’ll be straddling two billing cycles, and it seems that the Spanish Sim would be a lot cheaper. If I understand correctly, since the WhatsApp will continue to work with my US number, I probably could use...
