can I replace short handset cord easily with a longer one by just pluging into handset?

Yes, you can replace the existing handset cord with another one. When I tried it, I had to use a tiny screw driver to release the "new" cord as there is not a lot of space to get my finger to do it.

as far as I know there is no way to back feed the wiring in the house to make old landlines work. You can order extra handsets as I did and strategically placed them wherever you need to.

It is short. I have my own 10ft cord. But mostly I use the cordless phones, so the length of cord doesn't matter much to me.

you can buy a 2nd cordless handset by this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003H3HBU4?ref_=pe_527950_33920250

Yes, buy them from ebay or elsewhere. You may need to search internet for instructions to register more handset though. The maximum for number of handsets is limited to six.

Yes, you can, and in fact I did that because the cord that was provided was very short.

As long as you have the same model of phones, you can use this as a replacement. I originally bought a 4-handset set, and bought this one to go with it, giving us 5-handsets total. They are all identical, and work great together, and in fact, I can't tell which came with the set, and which one I bought separate.

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.

In most models, there is an additional phone jack in the back of the phone for the headset plug. It should NOT replace the handset. It's in addition to it. So, once you plug the headset into the back of the phone, there will be a button on your phone's keyboard that looks like a headset. When you press that, it will enable the use of the "headset". To disconnect the call, just press the "headset" button again. You can switch back and forth between the headset use, speaker phone, and the handset. You'll get used to it very quickly.

Yes you can change the handset cord to a longer one (both ends come out) and yes there is a ringer volume on side of base for off, lo, or hi

The plug it comes will work one way and one way only, the long straight plug works in the 'phones; the elbow plug goes into the device. I can see where one would want a longer cable, but doubt that without some carving away at the plug so it will fit into the deeper recessed jack, an alternative will not work.

No, it does not - this cord has the standard narrow 'handset' connectors at both ends. I have not seen a cord with a handset connector at one end and the wider 'standard' connector at the other. You may want to look for an adapter or connector of some kind, or you could buy one cord of each type, and splice the end from one onto the other. That wouldn't be very easy to do, though - the wires inside the black outer covering are color-coded, but they are very thin and delicate.

Yes, you can replace it. You can also replace the handset cord. They both connect with plugs. They aren't hardwired.

I think you can purchase extra handsets directly through Panasonic. I replaced a defective unit through them.

Yes, both the line from the telephone jack and the handset cord can be replaced. Replacement cords should be available at any place that sells telephones.

I faced this need and satisfied it by buying a complete new system with the answering part, then I used only the hand sets. I think I found a source for the handsets, and it was cheaper to buy the complete set and use only the new handsets. If you buy additional handsets, I found you had to cancel all the current handsets and then re link the old as well as the new handsets. Worked fine doing that.

Yes, this will replace the cord between your handset and phone. It is a good thing to replace the pile of phone cord coiled up on your desk.
