Q4 2000 data Net new Contract Pre-pay New Total (31/12/00) VODAFONE 1.42m
n/k n/k 11.66m
Total 5.69m 40.05m Analysis: Orange fastest growing network again this quarter, closely followed by BT Cellnet and then Vodafone. Overall, Vodafone remains market leader, BT Cellnet in second place then Orange and finally one2one. However Orange are now second place in the market to Vodafone for pre-pay mobiles. - Vodafone crossed the 11m subscriber mark during the
quater. Over 40m mobile phones now active in the UK! More analysis
and market share information will be added to the site in due course. Third quarter of 2000: 2000 Q3* (2000 Q2)** TOTAL SUBSCRIBERS*** MARKET SHARE BT CELLNET 669,000 670,000 8.74m 25.42% (-0.93%) ONE2ONE 1,120,000 1,000,000 7.12m 20.71% (+1.05%) ORANGE 1,100,000 1,200,000 8.28m 24.09% (+0.67%) VODAFONE 877,000 572,000 10.24m 29.78% (-0.79%) TOTAL 3,766,000 3,442,000 34.38m 100% * Net increase in pre-pay and contract subscribers during July - September 2000. ** Net increase in pre-pay and contract subscribers during April - June 2000. *** New total number of pre-pay and contract subscribers at September 30th 2000. Analysis: A quarter dominated by the growth of one2one and Orange - they are the fastest growing networks this quarter with approx 1.1 million net connections each, one2one having a slight lead over Orange, followed by Vodafone at 0.877 million, and finally BT Cellnet at 0.669m, which is only 60% of the growth rate of one2one this quarter. - Vodafone crossed the 10m subscriber mark during the
quarter (in September) Overall a very healthy quarter with over 3.7m net connections, and a total of over 34 million mobile phone users in the UK (assuming 1 phone per user). If the overall growth rates of the individual networks seen during Q1, Q2 and Q3 2000 continue in the same way during Q4 2000, then Orange will become Britain's second most popular network either before the end of the year 2000 or early next year, behind Vodafone, pushing BT Cellnet into third place. This will be the first change in 'ranking' in the UK since Orange overtook one2one in the mid 1990's. In terms of market share, one2one in particular and Orange
continue to increase market share at the expense of BT Cellnet and Vodafone. For subscriber details from previous quarters, please click here.
