The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC today confirms its most recent developments
in connections and business mix.

For the period 1 April to 21 July 2001 total Group connections grew by 20% to
over 933,000 compared to the same period last year. Overall the subscription
mix year to date is over 55%, an increase from 47.6% in the corresponding
period last year.

In the months of June and July, since the change in the UK prepay prices, we
have seen our UK subscription mix increase to 61%.

Across the Group in the months of June and July 2001, total connections have
grown by over 18% compared to the same period last year. Group mix in the
period was 57% an increase from 47.5% in the corresponding period last year.

Charles Dunstone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said:

'We are clearly demonstrating our ability to continue to attract a high
quality customer base. Our proven track record in providing value added
customer service ideally positions us to take advantage of a market that is
increasingly focusing on high spending subscription customers rather than
purely acquisition and volume.

'Looking ahead we continue to believe we are in a strong position to succeed
in a pan-European marketplace that is in the process of significant change.'
