Papua New Guinea Technical Information – In Details

Papua New Guinea Voltage

The voltage in Papua New Guinea is 240 V which is the same voltage used in Australia, Kuwait, and Malaysia.

Note that the 240 V is the highest voltage used in the world and therefore the most dangerous.

240 V has an advantage over lower voltage such as the 110 V that it is cheaper to transmit. On the other hand, 240 V is more dangerous than lower voltages.

Papua New Guinea Electrical Frequency

The electrical frequency in Papua New Guinea is 50 Hz.

Note that most household and electrical/electronic equipments nowadays support multiple frequencies, so generally, electrical frequency is not an issue compatibility wise.

Papua New Guinea Plug/Socket Type(s)

Papua New Guinea uses the I plug.

Plugs/sockets are usually an issue when it comes to traveling, so always make sure you travel with a universal plug adapter.

Papua New Guinea DVD Region

Papua New Guinea uses DVD Region 4.

DVD Region 4 is mainly used in Australia, South America (Mexico, Argentina), and Central America (Guatemala, Cosa Rica…).

Note that a region 4 DVD cannot play on a DVD player supporting another region. There are, however, some region free DVD players available that can be used to overcome this.

Papua New Guinea Blu-ray Region

Papua New Guinea uses Blu-ray Region B.

Blu-ray Region B is used across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Theoretically, a region B Blu-ray disc should not play in Blu-ray disc players supporting another region. However, most Blu-ray discs are now region free (meaning they can work on any Blu-ray disc player), and most Blu-ray players are also region free. Hence, compatibility is rarely an issue (for now) when it comes to Blu-ray discs.

Papua New Guinea GSM Freqency(ies)

Papua New Guinea uses the GSM 900 GSM frequency.

When travelling, make sure that your phone supports the GSM frequency of the country you’re traveling to. Usually the supported GSM frequencies are printed on the box of your phone as well as its manual.
