                  AERIAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
   Aerial Communications, Inc. ("Aerial" or the "Company"), without audit,
   pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
   Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
   the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
   and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are
   adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested
   that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
   consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
   Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the VoiceStream Wireless
   Corporation ("VoiceStream") Form 8-K filed on March 22, 2000.

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all
   adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring items) necessary to present
   fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999,
   the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
   and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

   Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform
   to the current period presentation.

2. VoiceStream Merger. On May 4, 2000, VoiceStream and Aerial merged their two
   companies. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which was
   approved by VoiceStream's and Aerial's Boards of Directors on September 17,
   1999, VoiceStream exchanged 0.455 shares of VoiceStream common stock for each
   of the Company's Common and Series A Common Shares.

3. Minority Interest. On September 8, 1998, pursuant to the terms of a Purchase
   Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") between Telephone and Data Systems, Inc.
   ("TDS"), the Company, Aerial Operating Company, Inc. ("AOC") and Sonera
   Corporation, a company organized under the laws of Finland and formerly known
   as Sonera Ltd. ("Sonera"), Sonera purchased approximately 2.4 million shares
   of common stock of AOC representing a 19.4% equity interest in AOC for an
   aggregate purchase price of $200 million.

   On September 17, 1999, TDS, Aerial, AOC, VoiceStream and Sonera entered into
   a Settlement and Release providing for the Sonera-Aerial Investment. In
   accordance with the Sonera-Aerial Investment, on November 1, 1999, Sonera
   invested an aggregate of $230 million in Aerial and AOC at an equivalent
   purchase price of $22.00 per share of Aerial common stock. Aerial issued 3.4
   million Aerial Common Shares to Sonera in consideration for $75 million and
   AOC issued 1.0 million shares of AOC common stock to Sonera in consideration
   for $155 million. Additionally, Sonera surrendered 317,108 shares of AOC
   stock on November 1, 1999.

   On May 4, 2000, Sonera, pursuant to the Sonera-Aerial Investment, surrendered
   an additional 317,108 shares of AOC stock. Immediately prior to the merger
   becoming effective, Sonera converted (at a conversion ratio of 6.72919) its
   2.8 million shares of AOC common stock into 19.0 million Common Shares of
   Aerial Communications, Inc. Sonera then exchanged its 22.4 million Aerial
   Common Shares into VoiceStream Common Shares at an exchange ratio of 0.455
   shares of VoiceStream for each Aerial Common Share.

   Minority share of loss of $11.7 million represents Sonera's share of AOC's
   consolidated net loss for the first quarter of 2000.

4. Revolving Credit Agreement. Under the TDS Revolving Credit Agreement, as
   amended, AOC may borrow up to a maximum amount (the "Maximum Amount"), less
   the amount of certain financing obtained by AOC or Aerial, including the
   amount of any borrowings under the Nokia 1998 Credit Agreement. In March
   2000, the TDS and Aerial Boards of Directors approved an amendment to the
   Revolving Credit Agreement which changed the maturity date from April 2,
   2000, to May 4, 2000, the date of the merger close with VoiceStream.

   As of March 31, 2000, the Maximum Amount available under the TDS Revolving
   Credit Agreement was $355 million and the amount available for borrowing by
   AOC was approximately $143.9 million. The interest rate under the Revolving
   Credit Agreement is equal to the prime rate plus 2.35%. Interest on the
   balance due under the Revolving Credit Agreement is payable quarterly and no
   principal is payable until maturity.

5. Net (Loss) per Common and Series A Common Share for the three months ended
   March 31, 2000 and 1999, was computed based on the weighted average number of
   Common and Series A Common Shares outstanding during the period.

6. Supplemental Cash Flow Information. In 2000, additions to property and
   equipment of $17.5 million were financed through an increase in long-term
   debt.

   During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company incurred interest
   charges totaling $10.5 million. The interest charges were comprised of $2.6
   million related to the Revolving Credit Agreement with Telephone and Data
   Systems, Inc. ("TDS"), $1.6 million for TDS guarantee fees on the Series A
   and Series B Zero Coupon Notes and obligations under the 1998 Credit
   Agreement with Nokia Networks Inc. ("Nokia", formerly known as Nokia
   Telecommunications Inc.) $1.5 million paid to Nokia for interest charges
   relating to the 1998 Credit Agreement and $4.8 million in accreted interest
   on the Series A and Series B Zero Coupon Notes. All interest charges incurred
   were expensed in 2000.

   During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company incurred interest
   charges totaling $22.0 million. The interest charges were comprised of $15.1
   million related to the Revolving Credit Agreement with Telephone and Data
   Systems, Inc. ("TDS"), $2.0 million for TDS guarantee fees on the Series A
   and Series B Zero Coupon Notes and obligations under the Nokia 1998 Credit
   Agreement, $0.5 million paid to Nokia for interest charges relating to the
