Newer appliances usually work between 110-240 V so you don't need a transformer, just an adopter.
He needs to CHECK THE VOLTAGE of his appliances and electronics - not just assume. "Usually" isn't very helpful when one is faced with a fried appliance or when you plug something in and start to smell smoke or sparks start to fly, or you realize you've just ruined your item.

Well at least for me all my stuff works in the 110-240 V range so that's why I said usually as I don't know exactly what electronics the OP wants to bring or what voltage range the US electronics support. I haven't seen a single device in the last 5 or more years that don't support the required voltage range but of course still check just to be sure.
You don't need to buy an euro iPhone charger, it will work.
I will be in England, then Belgium, then Germany, then Spain, then Andorra. Less then 3 months in each country so I don't need a visa of any kind. By the time I am in Spain I will know where the next several destinations are.
You should really look up the visa regime of the Schengen area and of those countries that aren't part of Schengen. I smell troubles.
In Europe is every country going to have different phone providers? Or are there any providers that span the whole continent?
I am currently on Tmobile which with my plan will not work outside of the country

I'm no expert. I've only been here for a few months, but as far as I know, yes, every country has its own phone providers. One of the big inconveniences you're going to notice right away is that you can't travel across the continent and expect things to be the same everywhere. The beauty of Europe -- that it has multiple cultures in a tight space -- can also be a pain. As Americans, you and I are used to traveling 3,000 miles and still being in a place with more or less the same laws and rules. Not so here.
If you're planning on working anywhere in the Schengen Area without an appropriate visa you may be in for a bad awakening. You should get the visa issue sorted out before thinking about things like cell phone plans or adapters.
