I purchased a PANASONIC KX-TG2740S 2 line cordless phone from the USA just like 

http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?storeId=11251&catalogId=11005&itemId=62849&catGroupId=11104&displayTab=F&surfModel=KX-TG2740S&surfCategory=2.4GHz%20MultiTalk%201%20x%208%20Expandable%20Systems&ignoreRedirect=1

I am using the phone in England UK. I have two questions

1) How can I get the caller ID to work here in UK. I assume UK and US
have different caller id systems.

2) I use a cheap carrier to make international calls and I would like
to program that as part of the phone number in the momory but it does
not take so many digits. How can I get around this? ie I would like to
save very long numbers (25 Digits) in the memory.

mysite-ga:

Panasonic never intended for this specific model to be used in the UK.
This is for several reasons, which include regulatory (the phone is
only certified to meet US FCC requirements), and technical (in this
case, the different Caller ID standards).

You can read a bit about the different standards here:

http://www.ainslie.org.uk/callerid/cli_faq.htm#Q_6

The Panasonic KX-TG2740S does not have user-upgradable firmware, so
there is no way to get it to work with the Caller ID standard used by
your service provider.

This same lack of ability to upgrade the firmware also means that
there is no way to change the 22-digit limit for numbers stored in the
directory. As the phone's firmware also does not allow you to access
the directory while in a call, you cannot even store your numbers in
two halves.

So, unfortunately there is no encouraging news here for you, sorry!
You may note that Panasonic's available phone systems for the UK are
all based on the Digital Enhanced Cordless Telephones concept:
