E6-3266. Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application of Socket Communications Inc. To Withdraw Its Common Stock, $.001 Par Value, From Listing and Registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc.

March 2, 2006.

On February 23, 2006, Socket Communications Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Issuer”), filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) ^[1] and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,^[2] to withdraw its common stock, $.001 par value (“Security”), from listing and registration on the Pacific Exchange, Inc. (“PCX”).

On January 26, 2006, the Board of Directors (“Board”) of the Issuer approved the delisting of the Security from listing and registration on PCX. The Issuer stated that the reason to withdraw the Security from PCX is that the Security is presently dual-listed on the Nasdaq National Market System (“Nasdaq”) and PCX. The Issuer believes that it no longer needs or benefits from the dual listing.

The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with PCX rules by providing PCX with the required documents governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on PCX.

The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the Security from listing on PCX and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Act,^[3] and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Act.^[4]
