Does Cox offer a free phone Modem?
Reading on the forums that they do, but whenever I call or chat with support, they are telling me I need to rent a modem for $10.99 a month, or if I want to purchase one for $129.99, I have walk into...

so you want free telephone service so you can have free access to the internet.!!!
I was assuming the OP would pay for the Cox Voice service but didn't want to buy or rent equipment to activate it.
unclear motive, maybe op will reply!
I was always suspicious of Cox Lego-blocking their eMTA into combo units. I already had a DOCSIS and router...although old...but the rep was overly aggressive to get me to rent their router. "My stuff works, dude. I just need the eMTA." He had no choice but to freely issue another DOCSIS-eMTA unit.
they made me a deal, i wanted to eliminate the land line & when i was in the store they swapped the digital triple unit for pano saving some $70/month.
the pano unit had phone capability, i saved $$$ & setup the land line with a new number & was close to double the speed of the old router.
