            VODAFONE ADDS SINGAPORE'S M1 TO PARTNER NETWORK COMMUNITY

Vodafone and Mobile One ('M1') today announce the signing of a new Partner
Network Agreement, making M1 Vodafone's exclusive Partner in Singapore, and its
first Partner in the Asia-Pacific region.

The mutually beneficial partnership brings together two well-recognised brands;
Vodafone is the world's largest mobile community and M1 is Singapore's leading
mobile operator. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will
co-operate in developing and offering products and services to international
travellers and domestic customers.

As a Partner Network, M1 will offer Vodafone and its partners' customers
seamless access to Vodafone's international mobile services while travelling in
Singapore. M1 customers will enjoy the benefits of Vodafone's roaming services
across its global footprint.

Peter Bamford, Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone said: 'Our tie-up with M1 is
another step towards bringing our customers the key benefits of the Vodafone
brand and services in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also illustrative of
Vodafone leveraging its global scale and scope to strengthen Vodafone's
international brand profile, creating new sources of revenue for both parties
and adding synergy to Vodafone's growing Partner Network community.'

'We are very excited about the potential of this partnership with Vodafone and
the many benefits it will bring. M1 customers will have access to an even more
comprehensive range of products and services when they travel overseas in the
many countries covered by the Vodafone footprint.' said Neil Montefiore, Chief
Executive Officer, M1.

Following today's announcement, Vodafone's portfolio of global services,
supported by its global brand, will be available in ten Partner Network
countries: Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Kuwait,
Lithuania, Singapore and Slovenia.
