This useful guide tells you exactly how to supply power to the iPhone when you are visiting Georgia by using their standard F or C type 220 volt 50Hz wall outlets. If you are visiting Georgia from a different region please check the iPhone can accept a 240v supply. If it was purchased from a country which uses a lower voltage such as 110 volts check the iPhone is dual-voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) else you may need to use an additional converter to prevent the device from overheating whilst powering it.
