Can you change the cord on this phone or is it "hard wired?" I like the longer cords.

There are of course two cords. Neither cord is hard wired. You can use modular cords of tour choice.

Michael is correct. You can chose the cord length of your choice for both the handset and the phone itself. When I bought my phone, I also purchased a longer coiled cord for the handset. Great phone.

I believe the cord only comes on the left side. However, it does keep your right hand free to do other tasks. This phone is better for use as décor rather than an everyday phone, but it does work and sound nice.

The phone is hard wired connection, Ethernet cord. Just use a powerline adapter and you can place this phone anywhere in the house where there is a power outlet. You don't need a wireless adapter or a phone jack. So if there is a power outlet next to your bed, or in the kitchen, you can put this phone there. Powerline adapters use the electricity in your house for your "Ethernet" connection.

The phone that we purchased has a handset that can be replaced. It has a plug and is not hard wired. Hope that helps.

Yes, the cord can be able to be replaced with a longer cord. The cord is not attached to the unit when you receive it - you must string it and tie it off at the end. So I don't see a problem with installing a longer cord.

While I haven't used phone frequently in the situation you described, I can advise that I have not had a problem. The one disappointment that I have with this phone is that the cord is not replaceable. I had hoped to use as a wall phone, but cord is much too short. It has been put into service as a desk phone.

I have a really long cord on mine. It hangs on the wall in the kitchen, and I can carry the handset all over the room.

The handset cord is detachable, and the handset uses the standard phone-cord connector. (The cord is detached and included separately in the box with the new phone.)

I think only wired headset plug into the handset. If I were you I'd skip this phone - it was lousy and I replaced it.

The phone line cord and the power cord are about 5 feet lone. Those worked for me. The handset cord is about 1 foot coiled, maybe 3 feet stretched, so I replaced it with another, longer cord.

The cord is a normal length. I bought and added an extra-long cord to one of the two phones I bought for my mother. The one in her bedroom needed to be extra-long, but the one in her bathroom had to be the normal, shorter one. Since my mother cannot see well or make sense of much, I reprogrammed the red fire button to call my cell phone, so she has to only press one button to get me.

i have the black version, but this should be the same. the cord to the phone jack has a standard "AT&T" phone jack. a discount store (wal mart), meijers', lowes' should have an inexpensive plastic "tee" or "union" to join the original cord to an extension. i'm handy, but i'm not taking apart a heavy duty phone like these...

mine was not corded. it had to be installed hardwired and that is what I needed, no modification needed...( I still love it and it goes on sale every now and then so don't pay full price!!!)

I don't actually have the phone. I was just commenting on the ability of a wired phone like this to remain working when your home power goes out. However, the picture on the 2554 clearly shows that the cord is modular and can be changed. I was a phone repairman in the 1970's and all phones by the end of that decade were constructed with modular cords. It would be relatively difficult to actually find a hard-wired phone except maybe in the Salvation Army bins. Look carefully at the picture of the phone on the Amazon offering and it's pretty clear that the cord is modular on both ends and can be exchanged for any other modular handset cord.

This one plugs in, but I actually took the cord off and hard wired it. Less expensive than the one that is hard wired.

Yes, it can be changed over. Typically you need a Verizon contract phone and that's what this is. It should work. Thank you for your interest, Clayton Recellulartoo

Cord is @ 20" long. Sure you might be able to buy a longer one. Like this old style phone. Hopefully it lasts longer than the newer models I have bought.Bell is loud but nothing awful. Might be annoying in an apartment but in a house it is ok.
