Electricity
Wyoming uses electricity at 110-120V/60Hz. Flat, two-prong plugs are typical, so it is recommended that you travel with a universal plug adapter or voltage converter if you are coming from Europe or Asia.
Communications
The dialing code for the United States is +1. Wyoming uses a single area code (307) for the entire state. Cell phone coverage is confined to areas around towns due to the vast sections of empty space in Wyoming. Internet access is also sketchy, but Wi-Fi hot spots are available in towns like Jackson Hole and Cody.
Duty-free
Every visitor over the age of 18 who arrives in America can carry: one liter of alcohol, 200 cigarettes (or 50 non-Cuban cigars or two kilograms of tobacco), and gifts valued at US$400 without paying any duty tax.
