Our Vision and Values guide the way we act. Our Vision is to be the worlds mobile communication leader enriching customers lives, helping individuals, businesses and communities be more connected in a mobile world. Our Values are about how we feel in other words the Passions that make us the company we are. One of our four corporate Values is 'Passion for the world around us': "We will help the people of the world to have fuller lives - both through the services we provide and through the impact we have on the world around us." At the start of 2002, we introduced a set of ten Business Principles to make our Vision and Values happen. These define our relationships with all our stakeholders and govern how Vodafone conducts its day-to-day business. Our Business Principles apply to all Vodafone operating companies (majority owned businesses). We also promote the Principles to our associate companies (where Vodafone holds a minority stake) and business partners. Chief Executives are responsible for ensuring application of the Principles within their business. Every employee is expected to act in accordance with the Business Principles. If employees have concerns about the application of the Principles, they can ask their local human resources managers for further advice, or contact the Group Human Resources Director or the Group Audit Director. We are incorporating training on our business principles into our employee induction process. Internal audits in 2002-03 show they have been communicated to over 90% of employees.

Vodafone has a long history of active engagement in standards that lay the foundation of our industry. As such, we continue to be conscious of the fact it is necessary to incorporate and encourage contribution of IPR into standards to ensure continued innovation, whilst also critical in terms of the viability of standards-based products. Currently, the members of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) are standardising a next generation mobile radio technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE). In parallel, NGMN Ltd. is actively consolidating requirements on candidate next generation mobile technologies. As part of this effort, Vodafone is closely working with its industry partners creating awareness and transparency about IPR and the impact of IPR licensing on future products and services. Vodafone welcomes the industry transition towards full, open disclosure of IPR royalty expectations from all industry partners. In support of this openness Vodafone makes the following statement: "Vodafone anticipates next generation mobile technology to provide data connectivity for a much wider range of devices than just mobile phones and notebooks. All sorts of consumer electronic devices, and also IT, domestic appliances, cars, containers etc. will become connected as part of their key capabilities. While Vodafone respects that holders of IPR built into standards deserve a fair compensation for their R&D efforts, this reward needs to support the success of the technology in an increasingly competitive market. This leads us to believe that the IPR licence structure for any next generation mobile technology should be based on the component price of the radio module built in or attached to devices. Vodafone is committed to licensing its next generation mobile radio essential patents (subject to reciprocity) on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms, free of charge."
Committees

The Nominations and Governance Committee is chaired by the Chairman of the Board, and its other members are non-executive directors of the Company and the Chief Executive. The Remuneration Committee is composed entirely of non-executive directors whom the Board has determined to be independent. The Company's Audit Committee is composed entirely of non-executive directors whom the Board has determined to be independent and who meet the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act. The Company considers that the terms of reference of these committees, which are available on its website are generally responsive to the relevant NYSE rules but may not address all aspects of these rules.
US listing requirements
The Company's ADSs are listed on the NYSE and the Company is, therefore, subject to the rules of the NYSE as well as US securities laws and the rules of the SEC. The NYSE requires US companies listed on the exchange to comply with the NYSE's corporate governance rules but foreign private issuers, such as the Company, are exempt from most of those rules. However, pursuant to NYSE Rule 303A.11, the Company is required to disclose a summary of any significant ways in which the corporate governance practices it follows differ from those
required by the NYSE for US companies. A summary of such differences is set out below. The Company has established a Disclosure Committee with responsibility for reviewing and approving controls and procedures over the public disclosure of financial and related information, and other procedures necessary to enable the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer to provide their Certifications of the Annual Report on Form 20-F that is filed with the SEC. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (US) requires the Company to annually assess and make public statements about the quality and effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting. As a non-US company, Vodafone is first required to report on its compliance with section 404 for the year ended 31 March 2007. Management's report must describe conclusions about the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on management's evaluation as of the end of the Company's most recent fiscal year. The Company has established a Steering Committee to provide strategic direction to the Company's section 404 compliance efforts and a Programme Management Office which monitors progress and provides detailed guidance to the compliance teams that have been set up in the Group's subsidiaries and central functions. The Company's Audit Committee also plays an active role in monitoring these efforts. The Audit Committee receives progress updates at each of its meetings as well as a bi-annual status presentation from the Programme Management Office. The Company's external auditors have been consulted throughout the project and will continue to be involved as the Company finalises its review. The Company has reviewed the structure and operation of its "entity level" control environment: the overarching structure of review and monitoring essential to the management of its business. Each of the Company's subsidiaries and central functions has ensured that the relevant processes and controls are documented to appropriate standards, taking into account the guidance provided by the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 2 and subsequent SEC Staff Questions and Answers related to the standard. The approach taken has been to identify the key financial reporting processes so that, in aggregate, the Company has reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements. The Company is making satisfactory progress on the work required to enable it to report on its compliance with section 404 at 31 March 2007. The Company has also adopted a corporate Code of Ethics for senior executive, financial and accounting officers, separate from and additional to its Business Principles, described below. Information about changes in directors' shareholdings can be found in the Regulatory News (RNS) feed from the London Stock Exchange. PRODUCT PROFILE BASIC SERVICES Clip Call Hold/call waiting

LIMITATIONS
There are different reason in the different to markets for not using the Vodafone cellular. The limitation's which was found by me are as under. 1. Lack of proper advertisement and hoarding Vodafone cellular are firstly emphasizing on the urban area & developed markets only. 2. Lack of tower's of the Vodafone cellular in many places. 3. Lack of regular visit is the small markets. 4. Lack of information provided by the company to the rural area people. 5. Lack of taking interest in the eastern U.P. region.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Vodafone cellular is the growing and big competitive industries, today in telecommunication sector there are many company, like BSNL, Airtel, Reliance and now idea & TATA has also launched his telecommunication service TATA Indicom, so, Vodafone has to face many competition in the market in the case of sales promotion activities in telecom with special reference to vodafone cellular, so, Vodafone has improve thee tower in the Rural area also I want to recommended to Vodafone cellular to established there tower as fast as they can do so, Vodafone is a big and stable company so they have to improve themselves as a good telecom service provider.
PROMOTION
Another one of the 4P's is 'promotion'. This includes all of the tools available to the marketer for 'marketing communication'. As with Neil H.Borden's marketing mix, marketing communications has its own 'promotions mix.' Think of it like a cake mix, the basic ingredients are always the same. However if you vary the amounts of one of the ingredients, the final outcome is different. It is the same with promotions. You can 'integrate' different aspects of the promotions mix to deliver a unique campaign. The elements of the
promotions mix are: Personal Selling Sales Promotion Public Relations Direct Mail Trade Fairs and Exhibitions Advertising Sponsorship The elements of the promotions mix are integrated to form a coherent campaign. As with all forms of communication. The message from the marketer follows the 'communications process' as illustrated above. For example, a radio advert is made for a car manufacturer. The car manufacturer (sender) pays for a specific advert with contains a message specific to a target audience (encoding). It is transmitted during a set of commercials from a radio station (Message / media). The message is decoded by a car radio (decoding) and the target consumer interprets the message (receiver). He or she might visit a dealership or seek further information from a web site (Response). The consumer might buy a car or express an interest or dislike (feedback). This information will inform future elements of an integrated promotional campaign. Perhaps a direct mail campaign would push the consumer to the point of purchase. Noise represent the thousand of marketing communications that a consumer is exposed to everyday, all competing for attention.
1. Personal Selling
Personal Selling is an effective way to manage personal customer relationships. The sales person acts on behalf of the organization. They tend to be well trained in the approaches and techniques of personal selling. However sales people are very expensive and should only be used where there is a genuine return on investment. For example salesmen are often used to sell cars or home improvements where the margin is high.
2. Sales Promotion
Sales promotion tend to be thought of as being all promotions apart from advertising, personal selling, and
public relations. For example the BOGOF promotion, or Buy One Get One Free. Others include couponing, money-off promotions, competitions, free accessories (such as free blades with a new razor), introductory offers (such as buy digital TV and get free installation), and so on. Each sales promotion should be carefully costed and compared with the next best alternative.
4. Direct Mail
Direct mail is very highly focussed upon targeting consumers based upon a database. As with all marketing, the potential consumer is 'defined' based upon a series of attributes and similarities. Creative agencies work with marketers to design a highly focussed communication in the form of a mailing. The mail is sent out to the potential consumers and responses are carefully monitored. For example, if you are marketing medical text books, you would use a database of doctors' surgeries as the basis of your mail shot.
6. Advertising
Advertising is a 'paid for' communication. It is used to develop attitudes, create awareness, and transmit information in order to gain a response from the target market. There are many advertising 'media' such as newspapers (local, national, free, trade), magazines and journals, television (local, national, terrestrial, satellite) cinema, outdoor advertising (such as posters,
bus sides).
7. Sponsorship
Sponsorship is where an organization pays to be associated with a particular event, cause or image. Companies will sponsor sports events such as the Olympics or Formula One. The attributes of the event are then associated with the sponsoring organization. The elements of the promotional mix are then integrated to form a unique, but coherent campaign.
CONCLUSION
With this the researcher come to the conclusion part of the research report. It was a wonderful experience for the researcher of working on the topic selected by him. Although it was not an easy task collecting information in the competitive market of telecom services. But taking up the challenge itself was very interesting. It is clear from the analysis Vodafone cellular is much better than other telecom due to the survey of Siddharth Nagar according to the customer of Siddharth Nagar living standard of high people and lower people. By the survey I have found that there are many telecom company but and many competitors in market but no any one defeat the Vodafone cellular. Many activity of Vodafone cellular as tariff plan, Recharge, there activity customer satisfaction and prove all the best of other telecom.
