On March 23, Qwest Communications announced plans to extend residential services to new regions of Wyoming. Voice mail and qHome, Qwest’s message management service, will now be available to customers in Jackson, Lander-Riverton, Gillette, and Laramie.

The following adjacent regions will be affected:

• Jackson area: Hogback Junction, Moose, Kelly, Teton Village, Bondurant, Wilson

Qwest provides advanced voice mail services, automatically forwarding unanswered calls to a private voice mailbox. Callers can leave personal messages that are easy to replay, save, and delete by Qwest customers. Voice messages are accessible from any touch-tone phone, regardless of location.

With the Denver-based company’s new integrated message manager, qHome, customers can manage voice mail, e-mail, and address books via Internet connection. This advanced service, available at no additional charge to home phone and high-speed Internet subscribers, allows customers to receive incoming voice mail messages in e-mail format.

Among the features of qHome, customers can:

• Listen to voice mail messages while checking e-mail
• Manage voice mail and e-mail, simultaneously
•  
• View a list of incoming and outgoing calls, via e-mail inbox

“With the ways technology is integrating our lives, customers have told Qwest they want simple, reliable tools that help them manage all of their communications services at once,” stated Mike Ceballos, Qwest Wyoming President. “The new Qwest voice mail and qHome services do exactly that by bringing Qwest home phone and Qwest High-Speed Internet together easily and efficiently.”

Qwest voice mail comes standard with the Qwest Choice Home phone package. It is also available as an individual service.
