      The Filing Persons hereby amend the Schedule 13D originally filed on March
2, 2000 as set forth in this Amendment No. 1, which relates to the common stock 
of VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, a Delaware corporation. Capitalized terms  
used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the        
Schedule 13D as originally filed.                                               

      ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS INVOLVING
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER                                                        

Merger Agreement and Related voting Agreements                      

      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D as originally filed is hereby amended by adding
thereto the following:                                                          

  On July 23, 2000, VoiceStream Wireless Corporation ("VoiceStream") and
Deutsche Telekom AG ("DT") entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of      
Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for the merger of a subsidiary  
of DT with and into VoiceStream. This merger will result in VoiceStream's       
becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of DT.                                       

  In the merger, with respect to each share of VoiceStream common stock,
VoiceStream stockholders will have the ability to (i) make an all stock election
entitling a stockholder to receive 3.7647 shares of DT, (ii) an all cash        
election entitling a stockholder to receive $200 in cash, or (iii) a combination
election entitling a stockholder to receive 3.2 DT shares and $30 in cash, in   
each case subject to proration and to the right of VoiceStream to reduce the    
aggregate cash consideration as it reasonably determines necessary to permit    
delivery of the requisite tax opinion pursuant to the Merger Agreement.         
VoiceStream stockholders may elect to receive (with respect to the stock        
consideration) DT American Depositary Receipts, which will be listed on the New 
York Stock Exchange, or ordinary DT shares, which will be listed on the         
Frankfurt Stock Exchange.                                                       

The following persons have entered into agreements with DT (the     
"Stockholders Agreements") to vote shares of VoiceStream common stock, which in 
the aggregate represent more than 50% of VoiceStream's currently outstanding    
shares, in favor of the merger:

The Merger Agreement requires that the merger be presented to the   
VoiceStream stockholders for a vote even if the VoiceStream board of directors  
no longer recommends that the stockholders approve the merger. The consummation 
of the merger is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of        
regulatory approvals, including FCC, Hart Scott Rodino, and EEC approvals and a 
no-action position under Exxon-Florio.                                          

The Merger Agreement may be terminated, among other reasons, by     
VoiceStream if the merger has not occurred by September 30, 2001, and by DT if  
the merger has not occurred by December 31, 2001, or by either party if a       
burdensome condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is imposed by any     
regulatory body in granting its approval.                                       

DT will invest $5 billion in preferred stock of VoiceStream having a
liquidation preference of $1,280 per share, which will become convertible into  
VoiceStream common stock at $160 per share if the Merger Agreement is           
terminated. The preferred stock will vote with the VoiceStream common stock as a
single class and will have one vote per share. If the preferred stock issued to 
DT is converted into VoiceStream common stock, DT's ownership of the outstanding
VoiceStream common stock would be approximately 10%. Further, upon such         
conversion into VoiceStream common stock, an amendment to the existing Voting   
Agreement among certain stockholders of VoiceStream (the "Voting Agreement"),   
described below, entered into by DT and such other stockholders of VoiceStream  
that will permit DT to designate two members of VoiceStream's board will become 
effective. In addition, VoiceStream has granted DT the right to purchase its pro
rata amount of certain subsequent issuances of equity securities by VoiceStream 
in order to permit DT to maintain its percentage ownership of VoiceStream       
(subject to limitations) and DT has agreed to a standstill limiting its         
ownership of VoiceStream to 33% in the first two years, 36% in the third year   
and 40% in the fourth and fifth years following the date of the Merger          
Agreement.                                                                      

 First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement

    The Voting Agreement (which was described in the Schedule 13D originally
filed) will remain in effect unless and until DT converts its VoiceStream       
preferred stock into VoiceStream common stock, in which case the Voting         
Agreement will be amended and restated as described herein pursuant to the First
Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated July 23, 2000 (the "First Amended  
and Restated Voting Agreement"). Under the terms of the First Amended and       
Restated Voting Agreement, the filing persons will vote their shares of         
VoiceStream common stock in favor of a board consisting of 19 persons (subject  
to adjustment) designated as follows:                                           

           (i)   John Stanton, as long as he is the chief executive officer of
VoiceStream;

         (ii)  One member designated by John Stanton, so long as he or his
permitted transferees beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares;               

         (iii) Four members designated by Hutchison Telecommunications PCS
USA Limited ("Hutchison PCS")(or if Hutchison PCS has transferred all of its    
shares to permitted transferees of Hutchison PCS, four designees of such        
permitted transferees) and its affiliated entities. Such number of designees    
shall be subject to increases (rounded to the nearest whole number), depending  
upon increases in Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') percentage   
ownership of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares issuable to
Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the VoiceStream
preferred stock held by Hutchison PCS), in which event the board shall be       
expanded by one member to accommodate each such new designee unless there are   
vacancies on the board and the board determines to fill any vacancies with such 
designees so that the percentage of the entire board represented by Hutchison   
PCS's designees (rounded to the nearest whole number) shall be proportionate to 
Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') aggregate percentage ownership 
of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares issuable to Hutchison
PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the preferred stock held 
by Hutchison PCS);                                                              

        (iv)  One member designated by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., GS
Capital Partners, L.P., Bridge Street Fund 1992, L.P. and Stone Street Fund     
1992, L.P. (collectively, the "Goldman Entities") and their permitted           
transferees, so long as such entities beneficially own at least 4,500,000       
shares;                                                                         

          (v)   Four members who were on the board of directors of Omnipoint
Corporation ("Omnipoint") prior to the acquisition (the "Omnipoint              
Reorganization") of Omnipoint by VoiceStream and who are selected by Omnipoint  
to serve (the following persons have been designated by Omnipoint to serve as   
directors: Douglas G. Smith, Richard L. Fields, James N. Perry, Jr. and James J.
Ross; such persons being collectively referred to as the "Omnipoint Designees") 
until and including the second annual meeting of stockholders of VoiceStream    
taking place after February 25, 2000 (it being understood that such four members
shall serve until such time as the term of office of the directors elected at   
such second annual meeting terminates);                                         

            (vi)  One member designated by Sonera Corporation ("Sonera") and its
permitted transferees so long as such entities beneficially own at least        
4,500,000 shares; provided, however, that if Sonera beneficially owns more than 
9,800,000 shares and Telephone Data Systems, Inc. ("TDS") beneficially owns less
than 4,500,000 shares, the number of members that Sonera will be entitled to    
designate will be two;                                                          

           (vii) One member designated by TDS and its permitted transferees so
long as such entities beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, such director 
to be elected to the board by action of the board promptly after TDS designates 
a member; provided, however, that if TDS beneficially owns more than 9,800,000  
shares

and Sonera beneficially owns less than 4,500,000 shares, the number of members  
that TDS will be entitled to designate will be two;                             

            (viii) Two members designated by DT and its permitted transferees so
long as such entities beneficially own at least 9,800,000 shares, such directors
to be elected to the board by action of the board promptly after DT designates  
such members; provided, however, that if DT beneficially owns at least 4,500,000
shares but less than 9,800,000 shares, the number of members that DT will be    
entitled to designate will be one;                                              

(ix)   The then president of VoiceStream;               

(x)    The then vice-chairman of VoiceStream; and       

           (xi)   The remaining members of the board as selected by a majority
of the directors designated pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (ix) and (x).  

   No designee to the board may be removed (except removal for cause under
applicable law) without the written consent of the persons who designated the   
director (in the case of the Omnipoint Designees, a majority of the board of    
directors of Omnipoint as such board of directors existed immediately prior to  
the Omnipoint Reorganization).                                                  

Notwithstanding the foregoing:                                      

       (A)    if at any time the Goldman Entities (and their permitted
transferees) shall cease to beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, then in 
such event, they (or, if they have transferred all of their shares to permitted 
transferees, their permitted transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any
member of the board;                                                            

          (B)    if at any time John Stanton (and his permitted transferees)
shall cease to beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares, then in such event,  
John Stanton (or, if John Stanton has transferred all of his shares to permitted
transferees, his permitted transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any  
member of the board (except that Stanton shall continue to serve on the board   
for so long as he holds the office of chief executive officer of VoiceStream);  

          (C)    the number of designees of Hutchison PCS (and its permitted
transferees) shall be subject to decreases (rounded to the nearest whole number)
depending upon reductions in Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees')   
percentage ownership of outstanding shares (including without limitation shares 
issuable to Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees) upon conversion of the
VoiceStream preferred stock held by Hutchison PCS), so that the percentage of   
the entire board represented by Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees')
designees (rounded to the nearest whole number) shall be proportionate to       
Hutchison PCS's (and its permitted transferees') aggregate percentage ownership 
of outstanding shares, in which event the number of designees Hutchison PCS (and
its permitted transferees) are entitled to designate to the board shall be      
reduced so that the percentage of the entire board represented by Hutchison     
PCS's (and its permitted transferees') designees (rounded to

the nearest whole number) shall be proportionate to Hutchison PCS's (and its    
permitted transferees') aggregate percentage ownership of outstanding shares;   
provided, however, that so long as Hutchison PCS (and its permitted transferees)
beneficially owns at least 9,800,000 shares, then in such event Hutchison PCS   
and its permitted transferees shall be entitled to designate at least two       
members of the board; and provided, further, that if at any time Hutchison PCS  
(and its permitted transferees) shall cease to beneficially own at least (i)    
9,800,000 shares, but shall continue to beneficially own at least 4,500,000     
shares, then in such event Hutchison PCS and its permitted transferees shall be 
entitled to designate only one member of the board; and (ii) 4,500,000 shares,  
then in such event, Hutchison PCS and its permitted transferees shall not be    
entitled to designate any member of the board;                                  

         (D)   if at any time Sonera (and its permitted transferees) shall
cease to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares at a time when Sonera is
entitled to designate two directors, then in such event, Sonera (or, if Sonera  
has transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of Sonera, its       
permitted transferees) shall be entitled to designate only one member of the    
board; and (ii) 4,500,000 shares, then in such event, Sonera (or, if Sonera has 
transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of Sonera, its permitted 
transferees) shall not be entitled to designate any member of the board;        

            (E)   if at any time TDS (and its permitted transferees) shall cease
to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares at a time when TDS is entitled
to designate two directors, then in such event, TDS (or, if TDS has transferred 
all of its shares to permitted transferees of TDS, its permitted transferees)   
shall be entitled to designate only one member of the board; and (ii) 4,500,000 
Shares, then in such event, TDS (or, if TDS has transferred all of its shares to
permitted transferees of TDS, its permitted transferees) shall not be entitled  
to designate any member of the Board;                                           

           (F)   if at any time DT (and its permitted transferees) shall cease
to beneficially own at least (i) 9,800,000 shares, but shall continue to        
beneficially own at least 4,500,000 shares), then in such event, DT (or, if DT  
has transferred all of its shares to permitted transferees of DT, its permitted 
transferees) shall be entitled to designate only one member of the board; and   
(ii) 4,500,000 shares, then in such event, DT (or, if DT has transferred all of 
its shares to permitted transferees of DT, its permitted transferees) shall not 
be entitled to designate any member of the board.                               

            (G)   Any vacancies on the board created by reason of the provisions
of subsections (A) through (F) above shall be filled by the vote of a majority  
of the directors then in office (unless such directors determine to reduce the  
size of the board after a vacancy is created) to serve until the next annual    
meeting of stockholders of VoiceStream, and at the next annual meeting shall be 
filled by a vote of a plurality of all stockholders of VoiceStream; provided,   
however, that in the event that the size of the board shall have increased by   
reason of Hutchison PCS having the right to designate additional director(s) and
thereafter Hutchison PCS shall cease to have the right to so designate such     
additional director(s), the size of the board shall be appropriately reduced and
each of the parties to the Voting Agreement (and each of their respective       
permitted transferees) will vote, or cause to be voted, all of the shares then  
beneficially owned by it

take all other necessary or desirable actions within such party's (or its       
permitted transferees') control including attendance at meetings in person or by
proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and execution of written consents in   
lieu of meetings), to cause such reduction in the board.                        

       (H)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
amended Voting Agreement, Hutchison's right to transfer its right to designate  
directors to certain block transferees as set forth in Sections 14 and 15 of the
Stockholders Agreement of VoiceStream Wireless Corporation, dated February 17,  
1998, as amended, among Western Wireless Corporation, a Washington corporation, 
VoiceStream and Hutchison PCS, shall continue in full force and effect until    
terminated in accordance with the terms of such Stockholders Agreement.

Filing Persons, in addition to agreeing to vote in favor of the merger with DT

                  August 31, 2001 the percentage thereafter will be increased by

   3.    For the three-month period following the merger: none
