Item 8.01. Other Events

On December 26, 2006, 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 December 11, 2006, 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).

The full text of the Company's press release concerning its compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) is furnished with this Current Report as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.
