Socket Communications Receives Letter from Nasdaq Citing Non-Compliance with Minimum Bid Price Rules

NEWARK, Calif., - December 14, 2006 - Socket Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCKT), reported today that the Company received a letter on December 11, 2006 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company fails to comply with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market Exchange set forth in Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5), as the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for 30 consecutive business days.

The Company can regain compliance if, at any time before June 11, 2007, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the interim period, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market Exchange. If compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a) cannot be demonstrated by June 11, 2007, the Company would expect the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications department (the "Staff") to deliver a written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted (a "Delisting Notice"). If the Company receives a Delisting Notice, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, if the Company satisfies the requirements for initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), other than the minimum bid price requirement. If the Company meets the initial listing criteria and its application is approved, the Staff will notify the Company that it has been granted an additional 180-calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement while on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
