19 September 2005

                        VODAFONE ANALYST AND INVESTOR DAY

Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') is hosting today an analyst and investor day at
its headquarters in Newbury, England.

The day will principally consist of a series of presentations by senior
management from Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and the UK giving an overview of
each of these businesses. There will also be a focus on the Other Vodafone
Subsidiaries and separate presentations on the following areas: Opportunities
for Growth, Technology and One Vodafone.

Arun Sarin, Chief Executive of Vodafone, will introduce the day's events by
reiterating guidance for the current financial year as outlined at the Company's
preliminary results announcement in May 2005. He will also emphasise the core
messages running through the day's presentations;

*   The Group is clearly focused on revenue growth opportunities

*   3G is gaining increasing traction in the market

*   The implementation of One Vodafone is progressing well

*   Strong execution by the local management teams

Vodafone will report that the number of 3G devices has risen to approximately
4.35 million at 31 August 2005, comprising 3.95 million consumer devices and
400,000 Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS data cards. The Christmas Vodafone live!
with 3G handset range, announced on 16 September 2005, promises to further
increase the rising rate of 3G adoption across Vodafone's businesses.

Vodafone will also say that Vodafone Passport - the first step in the Vodafone
Travel Promise initiative - has successfully launched in 12 countries and has
already attracted over 2 million customers. Initial feedback highlights high
levels of customer satisfaction, which has resulted in increased demand within
the expanding roaming customer base.

In addition, Vodafone will announce the Group's deployment of HSDPA, beginning
with friendly user tests and pre-commercial launches in the first half of 2006.
A full commercial launch with end-to-end capabilities can be expected for
mid-2006. This new technology will boost current 3G user download speeds by
approximately 4 times. This enhancement of Vodafone's network will continue to
improve customers' experience of converged mobile services; and from an
investment perspective, the upgrade will be incremental as it requires no new
infrastructure.

The event will be broadcast live via a webcast available on the Vodafone website
(www.vodafone.com/investor) beginning at 10.00am (UK time). All presentations
and related materials will be made available through the webcast.
