The BeoCom 2500 is an advanced telephone with a modern and user-friendly design.

The operation and the settings of the telephone are done by menu driven operations.

The BeoCom 2500 has built-in Caller ID* capability which allows you to see who is calling. The last 24 calls to the telephone are stored in the Caller ID list. The numbers can be shown in the display together with date and time of each call. The BeoCom 2500 also supports the Call Waiting service.
