(1) | Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) only. The Transaction Valuation was calculated assuming the purchase of all outstanding Series L Shares, no par value (including Series L Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), and Series A Shares, no par value (including Series A Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), in each case other than shares owned directly or indirectly by the Filing Person at a purchase price of Ps. 10.50 in cash per share. As of September 30, 2011, there were 9,816,383,486 Series L Shares outstanding (including Series L Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), of which 4,718,505,340 are owned directly or indirectly by the Filing Person, and there were 373,520,432 Series A Shares outstanding (including Series A Shares represented by American Depositary Shares), of which 91,994,660 are owned directly or indirectly by the Filing Person. As a result, this calculation assumes the purchase of 5,097,878,146 outstanding Series L Shares and 281,525,772 Series A Shares. The Transaction Valuation was calculated in Mexican pesos (Ps.) and converted into U.S. dollars at the U.S. dollar-Mexican peso exchange rate for October 5, 2011 reported by Banco de México, as published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación), which was US$1.00 = Ps. 13.6675. |

We have not attempted to comply with the laws that might apply to the Offer in any jurisdiction other than the United States and Mexico. It is possible that the laws of some other jurisdictions may restrict the making of the Offer, the distribution of this offer to purchase, or the tender of Telmex Securities, but we are not aware of any such restriction. If we become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the tender offer or the election to tender Telmex Securities in connection therewith would not be in compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law.

If you do not tender your Telmex Securities, you will remain a shareholder of Telmex or a holder of Telmex ADSs. After the completion of the Offer, the number of Telmex Securities remaining in public circulation may be so small that there may no longer be an active trading market for the Telmex Shares in Mexico or the Telmex ADSs in the United States.

SPECIAL FACTORS Certain Effects of the Tender Offer Effects in Mexico Subsequent Purchases of Telmex Securities
The second paragraph under Subsequent Purchases of Telmex Securities on page 18 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Separately from the establishment of the Telmex Repurchase Trust, depending on the size of the public float after the Offer, we may be required by the CNBV to make an additional offer for Telmex Securities that would be open to all remaining holders wherever located. Applicable Mexican law provides that the consideration in any such additional offer be at least the greater of an average trading price of the relevant security (the volume weighted average price over the thirty trading days prior to the commencement of the offer) and their book value as of the end of the fiscal quarter prior to the announcement of the offer. However, under all circumstances, the price payable in any such offer would be at least equal to the Offer price (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, dividends or similar events) and would be paid in cash.

The fourth bullet point under Position of América Móvil Regarding Fairness of the Tender Offer to Unaffiliated Holders of Telmex Securities on page 20 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
We believe that, except for the Offer, unaffiliated holders of Telmex Securities would not have, and will not likely have in the foreseeable future, an opportunity to dispose of their Telmex Securities at prices other than those available in private or open market transactions because we have no current plans of disposing of our interest in Telmex. SeePurpose of and Reasons for the Tender Offer; Plans for Telmex Following the Tender OfferPlans for Telmex Following the Tender Offer.

We recognize, however, that there are also some detriments to unaffiliated holders that elect to sell their Telmex Securities in the Offer, including the following:
| Selling shareholders not affiliated with América Móvil will no longer be able to participate in any future growth of Telmex. |
| Certain selling shareholders may incur a taxable gain from the sale of their Telmex Securities. |
SPECIAL FACTORS Opinion of América Móvils Financial Advisor
The section Opinion of América Móvils Financial Advisor beginning on page 28 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Citigroup was retained by the board of directors of América Móvil as financial advisor in connection with the Offer, and to render an opinion to the board of directors and the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee with respect to the fairness to América Móvil, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by América Móvil in the Transaction. Citigroup is an internationally recognized investment banking firm which regularly engages in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive bids, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. América Móvil selected Citigroup to render an opinion to the board of directors and the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee based on Citigroups reputation as an internationally recognized investment banking firm, its experience and expertise in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection
with mergers and acquisitions, its experience in the telecommunications industry, its experience in valuing companies operating in Mexico and its familiarity with América Móvil.
Citigroup will receive a fee from América Móvil for its services in connection with the Offer, which became payable upon the delivery of its opinion. Subject to certain limitations, Citigroup will receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel and other expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Citigroups legal counsel) incurred in performing its services in connection with its engagement. América Móvil has also agreed to indemnify Citigroup and its related persons against liabilities, including, but not limited to, liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of its engagement.
Citigroup and its affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing and in the future may provide, services to América Móvil and certain of its affiliates, for which services Citigroup and its affiliates have received, and expect to receive, compensation. In the two years prior to the date of its opinion, Citigroup provided services to América Móvil and certain of its affiliates that were unrelated to the Offer, and received fees in connection with such services. In the two years prior to the date of its opinion, Citigroup provided investment banking services to América Móvil in connection with mergers and acquisitions, and underwriting various credit, bond or loan facilities, including (i) acting as financial advisor to América Móvil in connection with its acquisition of CGT, (ii) acting as lender to América Móvil in June 2010 for a $2.0 billion Bilateral Credit Agreement, (iii) acting as joint lead arranger and bookrunner in May 2011 in connection with a $2.0 billion revolving US Dollar credit facility and a $2.0 billion revolving Euro credit facility to América Móvil, (iv) acting as co-manager in June 2010 in connection with two revolving Euro credit facilities in an aggregate amount of $2.165 billion, (v) acting as joint bookrunner in March 2010 in connection with an international bond offering by América Móvil in an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 billion, and (vi) acting as joint bookrunner in March 2010 in connection with a domestic bond offering by América Móvil in an aggregate principal amount of Ps. 14.881 billion. As compensation for such investment banking services provided by Citigroup to América Móvil in the two years prior to the date of its opinion, Citigroup received fees of approximately $7.6 million in aggregate. In addition, in the two years prior to the date of its opinion, Citigroup provided non-investment banking services to América Móvil, such as foreign exchange, cash management and loan portfolio management, for which Citigroup received fees and compensation of approximately $38.7 million in the aggregate. In the ordinary course of business, Citigroup and its affiliates may actively trade or hold the securities of América Móvil, Telmex or the affiliates of América Móvil and Telmex for its own account or the account of Citigroup customers and, accordingly, any at any time, may hold a long of short position in such securities. The consideration to be paid in the Offer was determined solely by América Móvil, and Citigroup made no recommendation to América Móvil with respect to the amount of the consideration to be paid in the Offer.
THE TENDER OFFER Section 1 Terms of the Tender Offer and Expiration Date General
The last paragraph on page 33 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
We have not attempted to comply with the laws that might apply to the Offer in any jurisdiction other than the United States and Mexico. It is possible that the laws of some other jurisdictions may restrict the making of the Offer, the distribution of this offer to purchase, or the tender of Telmex Securities, but we are not aware of any such restriction. If we become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the tender offer or the election to tender Telmex Securities in connection therewith would not be in compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law.
THE TENDER OFFER Section 5 Conditions to the Tender Offer
The first sentence of the last paragraph of Conditions to the Tender Offer on page 46 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
The occurrence of any of the foregoing events or circumstances will be determined by us in our reasonable judgment.

We have not attempted to comply with the laws that might apply to the Offer in any jurisdiction other than the United States and Mexico. It is possible that the laws of some other jurisdictions may restrict the making of the Offer, the distribution of this offer to purchase, or the tender of Telmex Securities, but we are not aware of any such restriction. If we become aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the tender offer or the election to tender Telmex Securities in connection therewith would not be in compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with any such law. In any jurisdiction where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the tender offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the tender offer will be deemed to be made on our behalf by one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
The following text is inserted as the fourth paragraph on page 58:
On October 21, 2011, an alleged holder of Telmex Securities (the Plaintiff) filed a putative shareholder class action lawsuit on behalf of the holders of Telmex ADRs against Telmex in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned La Corte v.

The Plaintiffs Complaint alleges that Telmex made misleading statements and material omissions in violation of Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act in the Schedule TO that we filed with the SEC on October 11, 2011. Telmex has not yet been served with the Complaint or responded to it.
