Qwest signs wireless deal with Verizon

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. phone company Qwest Communications International Inc and Verizon Wireless said on Monday they signed a five-year agreement for the landline provider to sell Verizon's mobile phone services.

Qwest said its residential customers will be able to choose Verizon Wireless service on its own, or as part of a "bundle" of home phone, Internet, video and wireless services.

Terms of the deal with Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc, were not disclosed.

Qwest said in February it was unhappy with its current arrangement to resell Sprint Nextel Corp services.
