* Total ARPU is calculated by dividing the average monthly revenue during the   
period by the average monthly total reported customer base during the period.   
ARPU excludes revenues from equipment sales and other sales and services. With  
effect from April 1, 2008, ARPU calculations include revenues from national     
roamers and international visitors roaming on Vodacom`s network. Historical ARPU
numbers have been restated inline with this new methodology.
