                        VODAFONE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH TIW

Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') announces that it is in discussions with
Telesystem International Wireless Inc. ('TIW') which may or may not lead to an
offer by Vodafone or any of its subsidiaries ('Vodafone Group') for TIW's entire
shareholdings in Mobifon S.A. ('Mobifon') and Oskar Mobil a.s. ('Oskar').

Any offer, if made, by Vodafone Group for Mobifon and Oskar would equate to a
value per TIW share close to the closing share price on 8 March 2005.

A further announcement will be made in due course.
