qHome Gives Qwest Customers Power to Manage E-mail, Voicemail, IM, Contacts and Call Logs From Virtually Anywhere

DENVER, Oct 09, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today Qwest
Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) introduced Colorado
customers to qHome(TM),
the Integrated Message Manager, a new Web tool developed in
collaboration with Microsoft Corporation that gives customers online
access to their Qwest home phone service. qHome integrates a customer's
Qwest
Choice Home(R) phone service and Qwest
High-Speed Internet(R) service through
Microsoft's Windows Live(TM)

Through the qHome online portal, customers can see who's calling their
home phone, listen to voicemail, forward messages, manage their contacts
and place a phone call with a click of a mouse. When qHome customers are
away from home, they can log into the qHome portal from most computers,
remotely view and manage their home phone activity and receive instant
message pop-ups of incoming home phone calls with Windows Live
Messenger. Click
