FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PROXY ADVISORY FIRM RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR OPENWAVE’S INCUMBENT DIRECTORS

Openwave Urges Stockholders to Vote For its Incumbent Directors

Redwood City, California, January 12, 2007 – Openwave Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPWV), today announced that PROXY Governance, Inc., a leading proxy advisory firm, recommends that all stockholders vote FOR Openwave’s incumbent directors at the Company’s January 17, 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To follow PROXY Governance’s recommendation, Openwave stockholders should vote FOR Openwave’s incumbent directors on the Company’s WHITE proxy card TODAY.

Openwave also issued the following statement in response to the recommendation by Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) that shareholders vote for the election of one of Harbinger’s nominees, but not their other nominee, at the Openwave Annual Meeting:

We strongly believe that neither of Harbinger’s hand-picked nominees are qualified to serve on Openwave’s Board of Directors and that Openwave stockholders should reject Harbinger’s nominees. A vote for even one of their nominees is a vote for Harbinger’s self-serving agenda.

ISS’s split recommendation acknowledges a “potential conflict of interest”* posed by Harbinger. Openwave believes that Harbinger’s “success fee” scheme – under which compensation for at least one of its director nominees is dependent on Harbinger selling all of its shares in Openwave – demonstrates that Harbinger’s interests are in direct opposition with the Company’s long-term strategic plan to build value for all Openwave stockholders.

Openwave’s full Board of Directors – including David C. Peterschmidt and Dr. Gerald Held – is comprised of highly-qualified executive leaders with extensive experience in the communications and software industries. Openwave’s Board is committed to enhancing value for all Openwave stockholders in both the near- and long-term. Our Board and management team are confident that continued execution of the Company’s strategic plan is the right strategy to guide Openwave through its product transition to an end-to-end solutions provider. We believe that the election of Openwave’s incumbent directors is critical to the continued execution of our strategic plan, which is starting to bear fruit.

A vote for even one of Harbinger’s nominees is a vote for Harbinger’s self-serving agenda. We urge all stockholders to vote for Openwave’s incumbent directors, David Peterschmidt and Dr. Held, on the WHITE proxy card.

Openwave continues to urge all stockholders to vote for Openwave’s directors, David Peterschmidt and Dr. Held, on the WHITE proxy card. The vote of Openwave stockholders is extremely important – no matter how many shares Openwave stockholders own. Stockholders are encouraged to vote by Internet and phone by following the instructions on their WHITE proxy card.

If Openwave stockholders have any questions about how to vote their shares or if they need assistance in voting their shares, please contact Openwave’s proxy solicitor, Georgeson Inc. toll-free at 866-909-6467.

Openwave’s Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 17, 2007, at 8:30 a.m. PST at the Company’s headquarters located at 2100 Seaport Boulevard, Redwood City, CA 94063. Stockholders of record as of November 27, 2006 will be entitled to notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting.
