               VODAFONE ANNOUNCES POSITIVE START TO THE YEAR

Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') today announces key performance indicators for
the first quarter ended 30 June 2002.  The main highlights are:

•         Increase in customer base to 103.9 million, including over 1.4 million
          organic net additions in the quarter

•         ARPU showed the expected uplift especially in the key markets of the
          UK and Germany

•         Data revenue rose to 14% of service revenues for the Group's
          controlled operations in June and to over 12% for the year

Sir Christopher Gent, Chief Executive of Vodafone, commented: 'These KPI's show
a positive start to the year and are in line with the expectations that were
indicated at our full year results, with an expected initial uplift in ARPU,
primarily from an improvement in activity levels.  Data continues to improve,
both as a percentage and absolutely, even before the launch of new services
later this year.'

Customer Growth

Overall, over 2.7 million registered proportionate customers were added in the
quarter, including 1.3 million from stake changes, bringing the total registered
proportionate base to 103.9 million.

Net customer growth in the quarter was partially offset by the necessary and
expected disconnection in some major European markets of non-revenue earning
handsets.

The overall customer mix continues to improve, particularly in Germany and the
UK, with contract rising to 44% and to 39% of the base respectively.

Activity levels for the Group's controlled operations improved from 92% last
quarter to 93% this quarter, largely due to the expected increase in prepaid
churn in Germany and the UK.

Registered Blended ARPU

Registered blended ARPU in several markets, including the UK and Germany, showed
an anticipated uplift, principally from improving activity levels.

Data as a Percentage of Service Revenues

Data as a percentage of service revenues continues to increase, exceeding 12% in
the year to June and reaching 14% in the month of June for the Group's
controlled operations. Improvements in data, both as a proportion and
absolutely, were recorded in all major markets.
