“Madre Mia” – the polite interpretation, albeit with some frustration, was what escaped my lips as I touched down in Ibiza. Just as the aircraft taxied on to the pan and the gaggle of drunken, loud and generally unpleasant stag and hen parties rushed to disembark, I realised I’d left my phone charger in the UK.
Now, in any normal situation that wouldn’t have been a big deal. One just waits for sunrise and goes and buys another.Except this handset was so dang old that I didn’t know if anywhere would sell the charger – and it certainly wasn’t a mainstream model.
Worse, despite its age, a friend of mine was due to take the handset stateside within days for her holiday ... What to do?
As luck would have it, I then remembered I’d also flown out with the One For All Travel Charger. Would this charger really have the connector for the ancient phone in my possession? I already knew it had connectors for Micro USB and Mini USB to name a couple. Henceforth, never had I set about undertaking a review so fast!
The One For All Travel Charger is actually a good looking piece of kit.
Cream, with a subtle light to show when it’s connected and charging, it also comes with its own
faux velvet carry case and a range of connectors for, as it thankfully transpired, every type of phone I could find!
With a Mini USB retractable cable to connect between the charger and your device of choice, the entire product
has been thoughtfully and sensibly designed. Further, it has both UK & EU adapters for the
charger itself.
One would think that was it but One For All went a step further with this device and built-in, after its fast charge capability, an Auto Shut Off system to save power once your device has charged.
Whilst not in the habit of trialling chargers personally, this is one device that I am very pleased to have firsthand experience
of. The only problem is now that my friend has flown stateside and forgotten to give it back!
Perfect for both the UK & Europe 9/10, even in its absence ;-)
