VODAFONE EUROCALL PLATINUM - GREATER VALUE FOR ROAMING CUSTOMERS


Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') today announces the launch of Eurocall Platinum, a new Eurocall option which has been 
developed to help reduce the cost of calls for high volume roaming customers.  Eurocall Platinum builds on the success 
of Eurocall, Vodafone's single rate European price plan, launched in January 2001.

Customers pay a monthly fee up to €10, which gives them access to a maximum flat roaming rate of €0.65 per minute.  The 
rate applies to Vodafone partner network customers who originate calls when roaming to any country within Western 
Europe(1).   The existing basic Eurocall tariff rate is currently charged at a maximum of €0.80, when the participating 
Vodafone partner network is used.

Vodafone customers in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden will today be able to 
register for Eurocall Platinum.  The service will be extended to SFR customers in France from 15 October 2002 and to 
Vodafone UK customers by 1 November 2002.
  
The Eurocall Platinum option comes with a free upgrade to an assisted roaming SIM which automatically seeks to connect 
customers to the local Vodafone partner network.  The Eurocall Platinum price, like Eurocall, will be single rate and 
have no peak and off-peak periods.  
 

Thomas Geitner, Chief Executive, Vodafone Global Products & Services, commented: 'The launch of Eurocall Platinum is a 
further example of Vodafone's ability to deliver European services that directly benefit our customers.  Through 
Eurocall Platinum, customers who are frequent users of our roaming services will now be able to stay in touch across 
Europe at even better prices.'

Notes to Editors:

Call and Monthly charges exclude VAT.

The Vodafone partner networks are: SFR (France), Vodafone Germany, Vodafone Greece, Vodafone Ireland, Vodafone Omnitel 
(Italy), Vodafone Netherlands, Vodafone Portugal, Vodafone Spain, Vodafone Sweden and Vodafone UK.
