My friend has decided to retire his beloved Serene in favour of an iPhone...seduced by Siri...however he can't quite bring himself to part with his Serene.
I know the Serene can sync contacts with other B&O cordless phones. He has a BeoCom 2.
Question is: does the Serene have the ability to operate as a cordless phone on his cordless network?
Cheers

Can't be done to my knowledge. I never did get the hang of all the supposed features of my Serene before I retired it. You can transfer data by bluetooth. The biggest discovery I ever made was that all the phone contacts were duplicated and held by the docking station (inc text messages etc).

I've never heard of that, although you can maybe set up a call divert. The Serene is a gorgeous phone, if all you need is something that looks good and makes phone calls. I pay £10/month sim only and it annoys a friend of mine a great deal that my £800 extravagance has worked out a sensible deal in the long run. Every year we meet up and I love showing it off, especially when someone says "wow, that's awesome, what is it?"

Yes, he used to get that 'awesome' 'response quite a bit. He just decided texting was unnecessarily arduous!
How can Serene integrate with a Bang & Olufsen DECT phone system?
By registering the Serene docking station to a BeoLine base (taking up the space of one handset in the system) it becomes possible to synchronise the phonebook and clock of the DECT phone system with the Serene phonebook. (Note: This does not apply to a.o. BeoCom 1 sold in for example North America and a few other countries).
When placing Serene in the docking station, the clock and phonebooks will automatically be synchronised.Please note that the phonebook entries must be stored on the Serene phone to synchronise phonebooks, not on the SIM-card.
When entering an entry in the Serene phonebook, you select whether the entry is ‘Personal’ or ‘Common’. Only the entries stored in the ‘Common’ phonebook will be copied to the DECT phone system.Please note: Synchronisation of phonebooks is the only possible integration with the DECT phone systems. Serene does not connect to the DECT band, and intercom between DECT handsets and Serene is not possible.
