Sadly it's not possible.  It's a great phone though, so with a bit of help from Google translate you should be fine using it.  The manual is available online (only to Silver and Gold members here, but you may be able to find a copy elsewhere).

And welcome to Beoworld!

Thanks for your speedy reply shame about that, is it unusual that the keypad is in english but the screen is German.?

Thanks Steve

You may find that the phone has been rebuilt by an enthusiast like me, using parts from different countries.  I have loads (30+) of Beocoms from Denmark, Germany, UK and a single BC6000 with a Dutch menu.  When carrying out repairs, I have certainly switched parts between several nations' Beocom 6000s and now have a few 'hybrids'!  😁

Thanks for info, just got if going despite being in German had to put a new battery compartment in works ok just no caller id. I swapped it with another 2500 that has caller id but no joy. Double checked all names and numbers in phone book all ok any ideas?

Many thanks Steve

I am pretty sure than different countries, even within Europe, have different caller ID systems. My Danish phone wouldn’t give caller ID when I lived In Germany, nor here in UK. 

Thanks for all your help, i will keep a lookout for a uk 2500 to buy.

Hi,

according to the product page for the beocom 6000 here on beoworld.org the signaling of the CLI is the same in Germany and the UK. Both countries use the FSK ( Frequency Shift Key). So it should work.  (

^  That would all make sense with my experience - it was my Danish phones that didn't work when I lived in Germany nor here in UK.  I never tried my UK phones in Germany.

Mind you, I have noticed that the Caller ID system here in UK can be a little flaky (unreliable).  Even though I have subscribed to the 'Caller ID' service from my provider (PlusNet), I reckon that my phones (now BC6000s) fail to display the number about 20% of the time, regardless of the number of rings. 

Thanks for researching this Ralph-Marcus.
