MOTOROLA AND PHONE.COM SIGN STRATEGIC AGREEMENT FOR LICENSING AND DISTRIBUTION OF PHONE.COM WAP SERVER AND MICROBROWSER

Motorola To Incorporate Phone.Com's UP.Link� WAP Gateway In Its Mobile Internet Exchange� (MIX�) Communications Platform And WAP Browser For Handsets Across Major Airlink Protocols.

Schaumburg, Ill. (October 6, 1999) ¾ Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM) announced today a strategic software licensing and distribution agreement that extends the existing relationship between the two companies. The strategic alliance brings together Motorola's market leadership in wireless devices as well as its comprehensive portfolio of infrastructure products and global services with the technological leadership of Phone.com's wireless Internet access technology based on the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). The combination gives the two market leaders the opportunity to rapidly meet the worldwide demand for high-quality WAP services and extend the worldwide footprint of their products. Motorola plans to use Phone.com's WAP 1.1 compliant UP.Link™ Gateway in its Mobile Internet Exchange™ (MIX™) Communications Platform, a feature server of Motorola's Aspira™ architecture. Motorola has expanded its license for the UP.Browser™ WAP 1.1 compliant microbrowser, including source code, for implementation in wireless handsets for digital standards. In addition, Phone.com is licensing TrueSync� server and client software for supplying synchronization-based services.

"This agreement is a significant milestone for Phone.com," said Alain Rossmann, Chairman and CEO of Phone.com. "This strategic relationship with Motorola gives us the opportunity to broaden our distribution channels, accelerate our footprint growth in carriers around the world, and extend our collaboration with Motorola to create wireless handsets and services. We anticipate modest revenues this fiscal year as a result of this working relationship with added potential for revenues beyond this fiscal year."

Motorola's wireless handsets can benefit from tight integration with Phone.com's UP.Browser microbrowser. By working with Phone.com, a global leader in WAP software, Motorola can offer network operators a time-to-market advantage. The two companies previously signed a license agreement for Phone.com's WAP compliant UP.Browser. Since then, Motorola has delivered UP.Browser enabled phones including the iDEN i1000plus, i500plus, and the recently launched Timeport™ L7089 phone for GSM, and StarTAC� digital phone for CDMA networks.

"Phone.com's software is a key building block for Motorola's WAP strategy," said Janiece Webb, senior vice president and general manager, Personal Networks Group, Communications Enterprise for Motorola. "As two of the co-founders of the WAP forum, Motorola shares with Phone.com a vision for the convergence of wireless telephony and the Internet. Motorola will leverage Phone.com's software expertise and market proven products to rapidly roll out WAP. Additionally, this relationship will allow Phone.com to deploy TrueSync� software based products and services."

Phone.com's WAP-compliant UP.Link™ Server forms a comprehensive, robust system that enables interactive Internet information services and value added telephony applications on wireless handsets running the UP.Browser microbrowser. Phone.com's UP.Browser is a WAP compatible microbrowser designed and optimized for mass market wireless telephones.

Using UP.Browser, wireless subscribers can access Web-based information and services. UP.Browser's open and highly portable architecture can be embedded into different models of mobile phones and utilizes each phone's specific display and input characteristics, giving network operators a way to reach subscribers and add innovative services.
