  <p align="left">On October 12, 2007, Socket Communications, Inc. (the "Company")
    received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq
    Stock Market (the "Staff") indicating that the Company regained compliance
    with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as required by Marketplace Rule
    4450(a)(5), for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market Exchange. Previously,
    on May 22, 2007, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Staff indicating
    that the Company had failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement
    of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business days as required by Marketplace
    Rule 4450(a)(5). During the subsequent compliance period provided under the
    Marketplace Rules, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was
    at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days. Accordingly,
    the Staff has informed the Company that it has regained compliance with Marketplace
    Rule 4450(a)(5).</p>
  <p align="left">The full text of the Company's press release concerning its
    compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5)

<p>Dear Mr. Dunlap: </p>
<p>On May 22, 2007, Staff notified the Company that its common stock failed to
  maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over the previous 30 consecutive business
  days as required by the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Rule").
  Since then, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock has been at
  $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days. Accordingly,
  the Company has regained compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) and this
  matter is now closed. </p>
<p>If you have any questions, please contact Tom Choe, Senior Analyst, at (301)
  978-8027. </p>
<p>Sincerely, </p>
