VODAFONE TO REDUCE
THE COST OF EUROPEAN ROAMING
BY AT LEAST 40% BY APRIL 2007
Vodafone announces today that average European roaming costs for Vodafone customers will be cut by at least 40% by April 2007, when compared to last summer. This will benefit over 30 million Vodafone customers who roam every year, and will see the average cost of roaming in Europe fall from over 0.90 to less than 0.55 per minute.
Vodafone also announces that it will enter into reciprocal wholesale arrangements with any other European operator at no more than 0.45 per minute for voice calls within the EU from October 2006. This will enable both Vodafone and other European mobile operators to continue to lower the cost of roaming to customers outside of their own networks.
Arun Sarin, Chief Executive, Vodafone, said:
Customers want simplicity and value for money when theyre travelling abroad. They get it with Vodafone Passport, which we launched last year, allowing customers to take their home tariff abroad with a small additional per call fee. Today Passport provides savings of at least 30% for more than 6 million Vodafone customers.
The success of Passport shows the demand for simple, great value roaming in Europe and today were showing that Vodafone will continue to lead the industry in providing it.
The European Commission and European Parliament have made it clear that they expect to see change. Our announcement today shows that the market, led by Vodafone, is meeting those expectations by providing what our customers tell us they want. Also, by addressing both retail and wholesale prices, we are providing a platform for sustainable, lower retail prices across Europe in the future. We understand the powerful appeal that roaming has in the aspiration for a Europe in which people can travel, live, move, work and invest freely. We believe the market is the best way to meet customer needs, not regulation.
VODAFONES PROPOSALS IN DETAIL
In 2005, Vodafone launched Vodafone Passport, a service which enables customers to take their home price plan abroad for a small connection fee per call. Passport customers have, on average, saved at least 30% on the cost per voice minute when roaming within the EU during the period June-September 2005 when compared to their average cost per minute during the period June-September 2004. By May 2006 there were over 6 million customers using Vodafone Passport within the EU, with 100,000 signing up free of charge every week.
Vodafone now proposes to implement price reductions which will deliver average savings of at least 40% for European roamers. This is done by calculating the cost per minute for all Vodafones European customers who roam within the EU during the month of April 2007 and comparing this to the average cost per minute for all European customers who roamed within the EU during the last summer period (i.e. June-August 2005). Vodafone proposes that the average cost per minute for customers of its subsidiary operating companies will fall by at least 40% in each national market on the basis described above.
The average cost per minute for Vodafones European customers when roaming within Europe during the period June-August 2005 was over 0.90 per minute. Vodafone anticipates that the average cost per minute for international roaming within Europe will fall to below 0.55 per minute by April 2007.
Vodafone can deliver significant cost advantages to customers who roam as a result of its network coverage within Europe. Vodafone has subsidiary companies in 11 of the EU25 Member States and affiliate interests in a further three markets. In order to provide roaming services outside of these markets, Vodafone enters into wholesale arrangements with other mobile operators who are not part of the Vodafone Group or which are affiliates.
Vodafone wishes to reduce the costs of roaming for its customers and an important component of this strategy is to reduce the wholesale costs that it pays to other mobile operators in providing roaming services throughout the EU. Vodafone recognises that other operators will also wish to lower their wholesale roaming costs and that they may seek access to Vodafones pan-European network in order to do so. To achieve these objectives Vodafone proposes to offer on request, to all and any mobile network operator licensed and established within
the EU25, an average charge for roaming on Vodafones European subsidiary networks of no more than 0.45 per minute for roaming calls within the EU, down from an average wholesale rate of over 0.70. This offer is conditional upon the requesting mobile network operator offering an average charge of no more than 0.45 per minute (or a lower reciprocal charge by mutual agreement) for all or any European mobile networks over which it exercises management control.
In order to support the development of lower retail prices and the continued growth of Passport during 2006, Vodafone intends that such wholesale arrangements will be available to other mobile operators on request by 1 October 2006 at the latest.

VODAFONE AND SOFTBANK AGREE TO FORM MOBILE PARTNERSHIP
Vodafone and Softbank today announce an agreement to form a partnership to conduct joint development and procurement of mobile technology and content.
The proposed partnership intends to harness the mobile and Internet expertise and assets of Vodafone and Softbank in Japan to develop hardware and software for the mobile Internet. The partnership will initially focus on three key development areas:
1. Handset Development and Procurement
The partnership will work with manufacturers to develop and procure technically advanced handsets which can be manufactured at low cost.
2. Service Platforms and Mobile Portals
The partnership will develop software that will enhance the customer experience by providing a much richer user interface through mobile portals.
3. Content
Vodafone and Softbank will work together sourcing content which will be developed and aggregated to take advantage of the partnerships proposed advanced handset technology.
Based on successful development in the above areas, the partnership will also potentially consider expansion into other areas.
Under the agreement, Japan will be the centre of development activity between the joint venture partners. Both companies will have equal ownership of the partnership.
It is envisaged that technology developed under the partnership will be centrally sourced and made available to Vodafone and Softbank group companies as well as other companies under licence.
The formation of the partnership is conditional upon regulatory approvals and agreement by the parties of definitive documentation.
Arun Sarin, Chief Executive, Vodafone, commented:
Im pleased to be able to announce our agreement with Softbank today. As we stated at the time of our sale of Vodafone KK to Softbank in March, we intend to continue our relationship with Softbank, one of the leading telecommunications and media companies in Japan, to benefit from insights into the Japanese market. By working together, we will be able to develop new mobile technologies and content for the benefit of our customers, as well as offering our developments under licence.
Masayoshi Son, CEO and President of the Softbank Corp., commented:
For Softbank, working with Vodafone is a great opportunity to accelerate innovation both in terms of new technologies and customer-centric services. Vodafones size and experience in mobile together with Softbanks converged media and Internet know-how will certainly be a strong combination for driving industry-wide change in the fundamental structure of how mobile services are delivered worldwide.
Following on from the Vodafone KK transaction, Vodafone and Softbank continue to work together in the true spirit of partnership. Together, we see this effort as a means of significantly driving down the cost of supplying best-in-class services to a very broad base of customers, not only in terms of initial costs, but as we plan to develop more flexible service platforms, this will allow for a richer customer experience at a lower ongoing cost.
