Can you use telephone extensions with full fibre?

I'm having to move from UFO. Currently, I can use both my phone extensions.

However, I've been told that you can't use extensions on full fibre. You can only have a telephone connected to a box by the router.

I'm very deaf and can;t get on with wireless phones, so I really need the phones I have to work in the two rooms I have them.

Is anyone aware of being able to use Phone extension with full fibre?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can, but you will probably have to make some changes to your internal wiring.

Thanks. Does anybody know what you need to do? Or do I need a telephone engineer?

So much depends on what wiring you have around the house currently & what sockets you plan to reuse etc.
