     VODAFONE LAUNCHES SIMPLE TARIFF FOR LAPTOP INTERNET ACCESS FROM ABROAD

      Competitive price makes service straightforward alternative to WiFi

 Vodafone continues to lead mobile industry in reducing the cost of roaming in
                                     Europe

Laptop users will have a reliable and competitively-priced alternative to WiFi
starting this summer, when from 2 July Vodafone drops its laptop data roaming
prices to €12 per day (excl. VAT) for wireless roaming across Vodafone
subsidiaries in Europe, Egypt, Australia and New Zealand, and with partners in
France, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium (see Notes to Editors).

With 'Vodafone Connect Abroad' customers will be able to use their laptops when
overseas to surf the internet, check emails and access their company intranet,
whether they are sitting in a hotel room, in a cafe or on the beach. The new
tariff ensures the comfort of straightforward pricing combined with a familiar
and reliable service. In countries where there is an HSDPA network, Vodafone
Connect Abroad customers using a Vodafone Mobile Connect USB modem or a Vodafone
Mobile Connect 3G broadband data card will be able to connect just as they do in
their home country and benefit from download speeds of up to 3.6Mbps.

Any Vodafone customer who uses a wireless data product, uses their mobile
handset as a modem or has a laptop with an embedded SIM card, can sign-up for
Vodafone Connect Abroad free of charge. Customers will pay nothing until they
choose to connect abroad for a 24hr session. They can access the internet,
emails or business network as many times as they choose for €12 (excl. VAT) in
the same 24 hr period on any Vodafone or partner network included in the offer.

The move to introduce Vodafone Connect Abroad, which was first announced in
March 2007, builds on the success of the company's innovative voice roaming
tariff, Vodafone Passport, which since June 2005 has brought lower, reassuring
prices to over 12 million European customers' mobile phone bills when travelling
overseas.


Commenting on the new tariff, Frank Rovekamp, Global Chief Marketing Officer,
Vodafone, said:

'With Vodafone Connect Abroad, customers can now access internet services on
their laptops for a simple, daily rate, competitive to hotel WiFi and DSL
services.'

Tariff details
The Vodafone Connect Abroad tariff replaces complex 'per Megabyte' tariffs with
a simple flat fee for practically unlimited data usage. The daily tariff
structure enables Vodafone customers to send or receive data at ease within a 24
hour period or one calendar day (depending on the Vodafone market) for a fixed
fee of €12 (excl. VAT). The fixed fee covers consumption within either a 24 hour
period or a calendar day, of up to 50 MB of data, after which the customer's
standard per-megabyte rate applies.

Vodafone will launch the tariff across the majority of its European footprint on
2 July. It will be introduced into the remaining European markets soon
thereafter. There is no activation charge for opting into the Vodafone Connect
Abroad tariff.

The €12 (excl. VAT) flat rate tariff is applicable when a Vodafone customer is
roaming on a Vodafone network in Europe, Egypt, Australia and New Zealand, and
partner networks in France, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium (see Notes to
Editors). If customers use their Vodafone Connect USB modem or Vodafone Connect
3G broadband data card on other networks, other costs are incurred for
international roaming.
