As others have already said, it can't be done without getting some extra equipment.

This could be done either by adding a small PBX (not sure of current prices, you used to be able to get a small one for around Ã‚Â£100, serving about four extensions). Going this route means that you'd end up having to wire in each extension individually yourself. You wouldn't be able to use your existing extension wiring, as this is (normally) wired in with one extension coming off another, you'd need separate wiring for each extension on a PBX, also you'd need to invest in new sockets, as a master socket is required for each connection on most PBXes.

The simplest way (and probably cheapest now) is to use a mutli-handset DECT phone. DECT base stations will support anything up to six handsets and you don't need to worry about wiring it in.
