Data Revenues -- Wireline data revenues grew 10.1 percent versus results in the year-earlier quarter to $3.0 billion, driven by DSL/Internet growth, along with solid results in transport and integration services for businesses. SBC ranks No. 1 among its immediate peers in total data revenues.

Long Distance -- SBC's total long distance lines increased by 554,000 to 23.3 million in service, up 18.0 percent from the third quarter of 2004, and long distance revenues grew 9.7 percent versus the year-earlier quarter.

As expected, SBC's switched wholesale line total declined by 556,000 -- versus a decline of 213,000 in the third quarter of 2004 -- due to a 643,000 decline in UNE-P lines. SBC ended the third quarter of 2005 with 50.2 million total switched access lines.

As required by GAAP rules for joint ventures, SBC reflects Cingular's
results in the Equity in Net Income of Affiliates line of its
Consolidated Statements of Income rather than in revenues and
expenses. To facilitate peer comparisons, and in recognition of SBC's
majority economic ownership of the nation's largest wireless provider
and Cingular's increased significance to SBC's overall operations, SBC
provides a supplemental consolidated income statement that includes
full consolidation of Cingular's operating results. This supplemental
information also includes reconciliations to SBC's Consolidated
Statements of Income on the following page.

Certain amounts in prior-period supplemental financial information
have been reclassified to conform to the current period's
presentation.
