The modem for the phone is a separate piece.  You'll still need a modem/router for the Internet. 

I recommend a combo for the sake of cables & cluttter.

we have had a netgeR combo I purchased at a cox store ( so they have to stand by it) for less than what it would cost to purchase individually at Best Buy. 

They keep warning me that that's " my problem," but that's only because it's over 3 years old. 

It's NOT my problem. There are soooo many problems.
