RussR is correct: UK-US models = Different systems.

OK. To clarify ( Back to the original question ) : Different telephone systems between US & UK do not work.

Thank you Swiss,

and now I'm going to disagree with you too.

In so far as you gave your friends complete systems, and they used transformers to convert power, I will agree that that may well work (even in the UK), the original question here involved mixing handsets from the UK with handsets from the US. That won't work, regardless of how many transformers you add.

RussR is correct: UK-US models = Different systems.

A German BC 6000 will work, providing a power (mains) converter is used to step up the power to 200-240 v from the US 110 v. I brought a few over years ago from Germany, and later gave them to friends in North America. To my knowledge, both units continue to work well there.

Are you sure about that, Russ?
I think they are all 2.4Ghz but there is some other issue why UK ones wont work in USA.

Pretty sure Andy, the UK specsheet indicates the DECT system.

That won't work. The US spec phones are 2.4gHz, the Euro phones are 1.9gHz.

Does anyone know if a Beocom 6000 purchased in the UK will work in the US, assuming you get the correct charger? Question is in reference to frequency and compatibility with US versions of the phone.

I currently own 2 x US version Beocom 6000s (predecessor to the Beocom 1) and would like to add a third phone.

Thanks,

Brian
