Pardon my ignorance. I want to purchase a charger for my new ATT (F160) cell phones. I don't know who they are made by ..Probably Nokia. Anyway I believe the port is a "micro USB" The voltage listed on the home charger is 5 volts. I hate giving ATT the 30 bucks for the car charger. K-Mart has vehicle chargers with the Micro USB plug for 10 bucks. They don't list voltage on the box. Will they be the correct voltage??
 
Seems that the standard interface anymore is 5V, but best to read the labeling thoroughly. They also sell adapters to the micro USB from other USB connectors so you can reuse something else that you might have...
 
There is only one voltage for micro USB devices, it's 5 volts. Any Micro/Mini/Regular USB device will give or expect 5 volts. (The only exception to this is called enhanced mini USB, which really has not been adopted and you probably won't ever see)
 
You can often get the AT&T microUSB car charger,with an add on USB port for about $10 give or take on E-Bay. Correction, two for $5 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pack-AT-T-Micr...=item1c2083ba20
