A larger number of businesses within this key segment can now bundle voice and data networking solutions with Qwest to save money without sacrificing reliability or performance and receive the advantages of Purchase Plus Reward discounts.

Qwest ® Purchase Plus Reward saves businesses up to 40 percent on local phone lines. Businesses simply bundle their communications services with Qwest and purchase a variety of voice and data solutions, including wide-area networking; Internet; local and long-distance voice; and VoIP.

“ Whether you have 30 or 300 employees, you ‘ re always interested in tangible ways to reduce costs and make the most of your telecommunications/IT investment, ” said Ken Smith, vice president, Qwest Business Markets Group. “ A lot of small- and medium-sized businesses don ‘ t realize they can merge their voice and data office networks, and are surprised when they can consolidate services and improve performance at the same or lower prices. ”
