                 ELECTION CONCERNING EXCHANGE OF STOCK OPTIONS
                        (INSTRUCTIONS AT BOTTOM OF FORM)


Name of Optionee: ______________________________

Social Security Number (last 4 digits):   ______

I have received and read the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Options to
Purchase Common Stock Under 1997 Stock Option Plan dated May 21, 2001 and the
FAQ included therein, as well as the email messages from Patty Brunton and
Richard Ressler dated May 21, 2001.

I understand that I may elect to cancel all options that were granted to me
under the j2 Global Communications, Inc. Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option
Plan (the "Plan") between and including January 1, 1998 and December 31, 2000
(the "Eligible j2 Options"), and those resulting from conversion of options
granted under eFax.com stock plans (other than those granted prior to October
31, 1996, which are not eligible to participate in this offer) (collectively,
the "Eligible Converted Options"). In return, j2 Global will grant me one (1)
replacement option for each Eligible j2 Option elected and accepted for
exchange, and one-tenth (1/10) of a replacement option for each Eligible
Converted Option elected and accepted for exchange, in each case on the date of
the first meeting of the compensation committee of the j2 Global board of
directors held more than six months after the date we cancel the options
accepted for exchange, which will be on or after December 20, 2001 (the
"replacement grant date").  I understand that I will only be eligible to receive
the replacement options if I am still employed by j2 Global on the replacement
grant date. The exercise price of the replacement options will be equal to the
closing price of j2 Global stock on the replacement grant date.

I understand that the replacement options for U.S. employees will be incentive
stock options (ISOs) to the extent permitted by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code,
if the cancelled option was originally an ISO, except that the IRS limit will be
re-measured as of the replacement grant date; or will be nonstatutory stock
options (NSOs) if the cancelled option was originally a NSO.  The replacement
options for non-U.S. employees will be NSOs.  All of the terms of the
replacement options will be the same as the terms of the options being
cancelled.  The vesting schedule of the replacement options will be the same as
the vesting schedule of the options being cancelled, based on the original
vesting commencement date.

I also understand that I will not be eligible to receive any other options until
the replacement grant date.

I recognize that, under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to
Exchange, j2 Global may terminate or amend the offer and postpone its acceptance
and cancellation of any


options elected for exchange.  In any such event, I understand that the options
elected for exchange but not accepted will remain in effect without change.

I have reviewed the list of my options that j2 Global made available to me.  I
hereby give up my entire ownership interest in the options listed below, and I
understand that they will become null and void on June 19, 2001.  I acknowledge
that this election is entirely voluntary.  I also acknowledge that this election
will be irrevocable after June 18, 2001.

[_]  I hereby elect to cancel all of my eligible option grants listed below
(partial elections are not permitted):

     Eligible j2 Options:

     Grant Date      Options       Option Price
     ----------      -------       ------------


     Eligible Converted Options:
