<p><b><font
face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure
  to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing </font></b></p>
<p>On December 11, 2006, Socket Communications, Inc. (the "Company") received
  a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market
  (the "Staff") confirming that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to
  December 11, 2006, the bid price of the Company's common stock closed below
  the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace
  Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Rule").</p>
<p>In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company will be provided
  180 calendar days, or until June 11, 2007, to regain compliance with the minimum
  $1.00 per share bid price requirement. If, at anytime 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, the Company expects the Staff
  to provide written notification that the Company has complied with the Rule.
  If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by June 11, 2007, the Company
  expects the Staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities
  will be delisted (a "Delisting Notice").</p>
<p>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. The Staff will determine whether the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital
  Market initial listing criteria as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c), except
  for the bid price requirement. If it meets the initial listing criteria and
  the Company's transfer 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 $1.00 per share bid price requirement.
  Currently, the Company meets the initial listing criteria (other than the bid
  price) for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the requirement for
  stockholders' equity of at least $5 million. As of September 30, 2006, the Company's
  stockholders' equity was approximately $16.7 million.</p>
<p>The full text of the Company's press release concerning its receipt of a notice
  of deficiency from the Nasdaq Stock Market is furnished with this report as
  Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.</p>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3">Re: Socket Communications,
  Inc. (the "Company") <br>
  Nasdaq Symbol: SCKT </font></p>
<p>Dear Mr. Dunlap: </p>
<p>For the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company's common
  stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued
  inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the "Rule"). Therefore, in accordance
  with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company will be provided 180 calendar
  days, or until June 11, 2007, to regain compliance.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1</sup>
  If, at anytime 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,
  Staff will provide written notification that it has achieved compliance with
  the Rule.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">2</sup> </p>
<p>If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by June 11, 2007, Staff
  will provide written notification that its securities will be delisted. At that
  time, the Company may appeal Staff's determination to delist its securities
  to a Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel").<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">3</sup>
</p>
<p>_________________________________________________________</p>
<p><sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">1 </sup><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">The
  180 day period relates exclusively to the bid price deficiency. The Company
  may be delisted during the 180 day period for failure to maintain compliance
  with any other listing requirement for which it is currently on notice or which
  occurs during this period. </font><br>
  <sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">2</sup> <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Marketplace
  Rule 4450(e)(2) states in part that, "Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require
  an issuer to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in
  excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive
  business days, before determining that the issuer has demonstrated an ability
  to maintain long-term compliance. In determining whether to monitor bid price
  beyond ten business days, Nasdaq shall consider the following four factors:
  (i) margin of compliance (the amount by which the price is above the $1.00 minimum
  standard); (ii) trading volume (a lack of trading volume may indicate a lack
  of bona fide market interest in the security at the posted bid price); (iii)
  the market maker montage (the number of market makers quoting at or above $1.00
  and the size of their quotes); and, (iv) the trend of the stock price (is it
  up or down)." </font><br>
  <sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">3</sup> <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="2">Please
  note that if the Company appeals it will be asked to provide a plan to regain
  compliance to the Panel, and that historically Panels have generally viewed
  a near-term reverse stock split as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve
  a bid price deficiency. </font></p>
<hr width="100%">
<p>Mr. David W. Dunlap<br>
  December 11, 2006<br>
  Page 2</p>
<p>Alternatively, the Company also may want to consider applying to transfer its
  securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies the requirements for
  initial inclusion set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c).<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">4</sup>
  If its application is approved, the Company will be afforded the remainder of
  this market's second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance
  while on The Nasdaq Capital Market. </p>
<p>Marketplace Rule 4803(a) requires that the Company, as promptly as possible
  but no later than four business days from the receipt of this letter, make a
  public announcement through the news media which discloses receipt of this letter
  and the Nasdaq rules upon which it is based.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">5</sup>
  The Company must provide a copy of this announcement to Nasdaq's MarketWatch
  Department, the Listing Qualifications Department, and the Listing Qualifications
  Hearings Department (the "Hearings Department") at least 10 minutes prior to
  its public dissemination.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">6</sup> For your convenience, we have
  enclosed a list of news services.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">7</sup></p>
<p>In the event the Company does not make the required public announcement, trading
  in its securities will be halted. </p>
<p>Please be advised that Marketplace Rule 4803(a) does not relieve the Company
  of its disclosure obligation under the federal securities laws. In that regard,
  Item 3.01 of Form 8-K requires disclosure of the receipt of a delisting notification
  within four business days.<sup style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">8</sup> Accordingly, the Company
  should consult with counsel regarding its disclosure and other obligations mandated
  by law. </p>

  Communications Receives Letter from Nasdaq Citing Non-Compliance with Minimum
  Bid Price Rules</font></b></font></p>
<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"><b><br>
  NEWARK, Calif., - December 14, 2006</b> - 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.</font></p>
<p>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. </p>
