J-Phone does 5,200 3G in Feb

==========

J-Phone Subscriber Base Up 1.2% On Month In Feb

Friday March 7, 1:08 am ET


TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- Japan Telecom Holdings Co.'s (J.JTC or 9434) J-Phone
unit said Friday its cellphone subscriber base rose 1.2% on month to 13.62
million subscribers in February following a 1.0% rise in January.

J-Phone is majority-owned by Vodafone Group PLC of the U.K., while Vodafone
holds a 66.7% stake in Japan Telecom.

The rise indicates that new subscriptions were helped by J-Phone's recently
launched "Vodafone Global Standard" service.

On-month growth in subscribers had remained below 1.0% for four months in a
row before the VGS service was launched Dec. 20.

VGS offers third-generation wireless services in Japan and roaming services
abroad.

There were 5,200 new subscribers to VGS for a total of 9,900. This followed 3,
500 new subscribers in January and 1,200 in December.


J-Phone is aiming for one million VGS subscribers by the end of March 2004.

J-Phone, Japan's third-largest mobile phone operator, also added 164,300
subscribers to its "J-Sky" mobile Internet service, bringing its "J-Sky" subscriber
base to 11.88 million.
