Can I just buy a modem?

    This is probably a very silly question but I'm useless when it comes to this stuff - sorry!:o

    I've just moved into a new apartment and set up a phone line and broadband with Vodafone. Got a text to say that the broadband has been set up but I am still waiting for the modem (I hear there's a huge backlog)

    I need internet for work and at the minute I have to go to my parents every evening to use theirs. So what I'm wondering is can I just buy a modem, plug it into my phone socket and start using the broadband? If so where could I get one?(don't want to spend a fortune because Vodafone one should be arriving in the next few weeks)

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yes you can OP. Then you just need to get the settings and input them.
