Qwest and Verizon Wireless have signed an agreement whereby Qwest will sell Verizon Wireless's phones and services to its customers. Qwest's landline subscribers will have access to all of Verizon Wireless's phones, modems, voice and data services. They will be able to purchase these products directly from Qwest's retail, online and call-in centers. Qwest's customers will be able to receive bills from Verizon Wireless separately, or bundled with their existing landlines. The agreement will last for five years.
