6.3      RETRACTION. VMI hereby agrees with the Investors that in the event
funds are available in excess of VMI's working capital requirements, then VMI
shall at such time such excess funds are available, if any, and prior to June
30, 2001, retract the sale of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement to the extent of such excess funds, by refunding to the Investors the
amount of such excess funds (to a maximum of the amount of the Escrowed Funds
disbursed to VMI) and instructing the Escrow Agent to return to the Investors
the balance of any Escrowed Funds, if any, together with all accrued and unpaid
dividends on such Preferred Stock to the date(s) of such repayment/return of
such amounts. The amount of any accrued interest on the balance of the Escrowed
Funds so returned to the Investors shall be credited towards the amount of
accrued dividends to be paid to Investors by VMI on such Preferred Stock. As
conditions to any such retraction, Investors shall deliver to VMI the number of
shares of Preferred Stock previously issued to Investors in the amount so repaid
by VMI (and at the original price per share issued to Investors), free and clear
of all liens, security interests, claims, pledges and encumbrances of any kind,

delivery of the balance of such Escrowed Funds to the Investors pursuant to such
a return of funds, VMI shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to return
to VMI all certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock held by Escrow
Agent and not previously delivered to Investors, whereupon VMI will be entitled
to cancel all such shares. In the event any Investor fails to deliver such
certificates representing such shares, VMI shall be entitled to deposit the
funds with the Escrow Agent under an escrow account for the benefit of such
Investor, and thereafter treat such shares of Preferred Stock as cancelled for
all purposes. Any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock not retracted or
refunded hereunder by June 30, 2001, shall be subject to conversion into Common
Stock to the extent set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, of
VMI. Any retraction or refund hereunder shall not affect any Warrants issued
under the Subscription Agreement and such Warrants shall remain outstanding
regardless of any retraction or refund.

6.4      OBLIGATIONS OF ESCROW AGENT. The provisions of this Article 6 are
intended to define the rights and obligations of VMI, on the one hand, and the
Investors on the other, and except as set forth in Article 3 hereof, the Escrow
Agent shall have no obligations whatsoever to make any determinations under this
Article 6 and shall follow the instructions of the VMI and the Investors as set
forth in Article 3 hereof.

ATTENTION:  MR. JAY HUTTON, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Dear Sirs:

         Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Limited (the "LEAD AGENT"), Acumen Capital
Finance Partners Limited and Paradigm Capital Inc. (the "CO-AGENTS")
(collectively the "AGENTS"), understand that Voice Mobility International, Inc.
(the "CORPORATION") desires to issue and sell special warrants of the
Corporation (the "SPECIAL WARRANTS"). Each Special Warrant will entitle the
holder to receive upon exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants,
without additional payment, subject to adjustment, one unit (a "UNIT"), each
Unit consisting of one common share of the Corporation (collectively the "UNIT
SHARES") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Corporation
(collectively the "WARRANTS"), as more particularly described in the attached
SCHEDULE "A".

         In this agency agreement (the "AGENCY AGREEMENT"), the term "OFFERED
SECURITIES" shall mean, collectively, the Special Warrants and, where
applicable, the Unit Shares, the Warrants and the common shares of the
Corporation issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the "WARRANT SHARES"). The
offering of the Offered Securities by the Corporation is referred to in this
Agency Agreement as the "OFFERING".

         The Agents hereby agree to act as the agents of the Corporation to use
their commercially reasonable best efforts to offer for sale and obtain
subscriptions for the Special Warrants from Purchasers (as defined below), upon
and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agency Agreement, and
by its acceptance hereof the Corporation agrees to the appointment of the
Agents, as the Corporation's exclusive agents in respect of the Offering in the
Qualifying

<PAGE>

Jurisdictions; provided that the Agents shall be under no obligation to
purchase any of the Special Warrants.

         In consideration of the Agents' services to be rendered in connection
with the Offering, the Corporation agrees to pay the Agents' Fee (as defined
below) to the Agents.

         This offer is conditional upon and subject to the additional terms and
conditions set out below.

EXERCISE OF SPECIAL WARRANTS, ESCROW AND REPURCHASE OPTION

         The Special Warrants may, subject to the provisions of this Agency
Agreement, be exercised by the holder by surrendering the Special Warrants to
Montreal Trust Company of Canada (the "TRUSTEE") at any time after the Time of
Closing (as defined below) and on or before 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) (the "TIME
OF EXPIRY") on the business day (the "QUALIFICATION DATE") which is the latest
of (i) the date a Registration Statement (as defined below) is declared
effective by the SEC (as defined below) pursuant to the 1933 ACT (as defined
below), and (ii) the date a receipt is issued by the last of the securities
regulatory authorities in each of the jurisdictions in Canada set out as
Qualifying Jurisdictions in the Term Sheet (attached as SCHEDULE "A") where
purchasers of Special Warrants are resident as at the Closing Date (the
"CANADIAN JURISDICTIONS") for a Final Prospectus (as defined below); and (iii)
the day preceding the date the listing of the Company's Common Shares on the
Exchange (as defined below) becomes effective, being the time its Common Shares
are posted for trading.

         Immediately upon receipt, the gross proceeds from the subscriptions
attributable to Escrowed Subscribers (as defined below) will be deposited in
escrow with the Trustee on the Closing Date, to be held in escrow pursuant to
the Special Warrant Indenture and to be released to the Company on the exercise
or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants. The balance of the proceeds of the
Offering (gross proceeds less the Agents' fees and expenses) received from
certain subscribers ("NON-ESCROWED SUBSCRIBERS") who have agreed to permit the
release of their subscription proceeds to the Company on the Closing Date, will
be delivered to the Company. The subscription proceeds from the balance of the
Subscribers ("ESCROWED SUBSCRIBERS") shall be held in escrow as provided above.
Notwithstanding the above, net proceeds that are required to be deposited in
escrow for the purpose of obtaining approval to list the Company's Common Shares
(as defined below) on the Exchange (as defined below) shall not be released to
the Company on the Closing Date, but shall be deposited in escrow as provided
above.

         In the event that a listing of the Company's Common Shares on the
Exchange has not become effective by the date that is six months following the
Closing Date, then each of the Escrowed Subscribers will be entitled, at their
option (the "REPURCHASE OPTION") for a period of 30 days thereafter, to require
the Company to repurchase the Special Warrants held by such holder, from legally
available funds, at $2.00 per Special Warrant plus such holder's portion of the
interest earned by the Trustee under the Special Warrant Indenture. If the funds
of the Company legally available for repurchase of such Special Warrants are
insufficient to repurchase the total number of Special Warrants to be
repurchased, those funds which are legally available will be used to repurchase
the maximum number of such Special Warrants rateably among the

<PAGE>

Escrowed Subscribers who have exercised the Repurchase Option. Thereafter, as
additional funds of the Company become legally available for such repurchase,
such funds shall be used quarterly to repurchase the Special Warrants until
all Special Warrants covered by exercised Repurchase Options have been
repurchased.

         Any Special Warrants not exercised prior to the Time of Expiry shall be
deemed to be exercised by the holders thereof immediately prior to such time
without any further action on the part of such holders.

CONVERSION RATE INCREASE

         In the event that the Qualification Date does not occur prior to the
date which is 120 days after the Closing Date (the "QUALIFICATION DEADLINE") or
such later date as may be approved in writing (with notification to the Trustee)
by the Lead Agent in its sole and absolute discretion not less than five (5)
Business Days prior to the end of the Qualification Deadline, each Special
Warrant shall thereafter automatically entitle the holder to receive, without
further payment, 1.1 Units (comprising of 1.1 Shares and 0.55 of a Warrant) in
lieu of one Unit comprising one Share and 0.50 of a Warrant (the "CONVERSION
RATE INCREASE").

the following:

<PAGE>

         (a)      A fee (the "Agents' Fee") equal to 7% of the amount of the
                  aggregate gross proceeds to the Corporation from the sale of
                  Special Warrants to Purchasers pursuant to the Offering, which
                  shall be paid to the Lead Agent, on behalf of the Agents, in
                  accordance with the following:

                  (i)      6% of the Agents' Fee shall be paid directly to the
                           Lead Agent as a management step-up fee; and

                  (ii)     after the amount in (i) above has been subtracted

                           to 20% to Acumen Capital Finance Partners Limited and

                  additional consideration, compensation options (the
                  "COMPENSATION OPTIONS"). Subject to regulatory approval, the
                  Compensation Options will, upon exercise, entitle the Agents
                  to purchase at a price per Unit that is equal to the issue
                  price of each Special Warrant at any time on or prior to 4:30

                  number of units, each comprised of one Common Share
                  (collectively the "COMPENSATION OPTION SHARES") and one-half
                  of one warrant (collectively the "COMPENSATION WARRANTS"),

                  to Paradigm Capital Inc. Each whole Compensation Warrant will
                  entitle the purchaser to acquire one Common Share
                  (collectively the "COMPENSATION WARRANT SHARES") at $2.25 at
                  any time on or before a date which is two years from the

         (c)      Subject to Applicable Securities Laws, the Corporation shall
                  use its commercially reasonable best efforts to qualify the
                  resale of the Compensation Option issuable upon exercise of
                  the Special Compensation Options under the Final Prospectus.

         (d)      In connection with the receipt hereunder of the Special
                  Compensation Options and the issuance of the Compensation
                  Options, Compensation Option Shares, Compensation Warrants and
                  Compensation Warrant Shares (collectively with the Special
                  Compensation Options, the "Compensation Securities"), each
                  Agent hereby certifies, represents and warrants to the
                  Corporation as follows, and acknowledges that the Corporation
                  will be relying upon such certifications, representations and
                  warranties in issuing the Compensation Securities: that (i) it
                  is not a "U.S. person" (as defined in Regulation S under the
                  1933 Act) and is not subscribing for the Compensation
                  Securities for the benefit of any U.S. person; (ii) it has no
                  intention to distribute, either directly or indirectly, any of

                  U.S. person; (iii) it has not acquired and is not acquiring
                  the Compensation Securities as a result of any "directed
                  selling efforts" of any party (as defined in Regulation S) in
                  the United States; (iv) the Compensation Securities are being
                  or will be acquired by the

<PAGE>

                  holder for investment purposes for the holder's own
                  account only and not for sale or with a view to
                  distribution of all or any part of such Compensation
                  Securities; (v) it has been informed that the
                  Compensation Securities will be, when issued, "restricted
                  securities" under the 1933 ACT and may not be resold or
                  transferred unless first registered under the federal
                  securities laws or unless an exemption from such
                  registration is available with respect to a resale in the
                  United States or in an "offshore transaction" (as such
                  term is defined in Regulation S); (vi) it is prepared to
                  hold the Compensation Securities for an indefinite
                  period; (vii) it is aware that Rule 144 and Regulation S
                  under the 1933 ACT permit limited public resales of
                  securities acquired in nonpublic offerings, subject to
                  the satisfaction of certain conditions; (viii) it
                  understands that Regulation S, as currently in effect,
                  allows resales in private and public transactions in
                  certain circumstances, only in qualified offshore
                  transactions and only when certain holding periods of at
                  least one (1) year have been fulfilled; (ix) it
                  understands that it may be precluded from selling any of
                  the Compensation Securities under Rule 144 or Regulation S
                  even if the holding periods have been satisfied either
                  because the other conditions may not have been fulfilled or
                  because markets for resales do not exist.

5.2 The Corporation and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event that
the Corporation withdraws from or terminates the Offering as the result of
entering into an alternative financing arrangement or a proposed or contemplated
merger, amalgamation, reorganization, plan of arrangement, take-over bid or
other similar transaction involving the Corporation or a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the Corporation shall pay to
the Agents the compensation outlined above in paragraph 5.1(a) that would be
otherwise payable pursuant to the terms hereof.

5.3 The Corporation and the Agents acknowledge and agree that if a separate fee
were to have been charged to the Corporation for the services described above
pertaining to the distribution of the Special Warrants, such separate fee would
represent more than 50% of the Agents' Fee, and the Agents further acknowledge
and agree that the Agents will rely on the foregoing in not charging G.S.T. on
such fees. Should it be determined by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency that
G.S.T. should have been charged on all or any part of the Agents' Fee, the
Corporation shall pay to the Agents an amount equal to the G.S.T. determined to
be exigible.

5.4 The Corporation and the Agents acknowledge and agree that in the event the
NASD, SEC or other regulatory authority determines that the aggregate or any
portion of the compensation to be paid to the Agents under this Section 5
violates the NASD's Corporate Financing Rules, including without limitation,
Rule 2710 of the NASD, the Agents will reduce the aggregate compensation to be
paid to the Agents hereunder to be in compliance with such Rules, and such
reduced compensation shall be the compensation to be paid by the Corporation to
the Agents hereunder. The Agents shall not be entitled to terminate this Agency
Agreement as a result of limitations placed in the compensation to be paid to
the Agents under the NASD's Corporate Financing Rules.

                  returns that are required to be filed (except in any case in
                  which the failure so to file would not have a material adverse

                  and there are no claims which have been or may be
                  asserted relating to any such tax returns, which audits
                  and claims, if determined adversely, would result in the
                  assertion by any governmental agency of any deficiency
                  that would have a material adverse effect on the assets
                  or properties, business, results of operations, prospects

                  any assessment, claim or liability for taxes due or to become
                  due in connection with any review or examination of the tax
                  returns of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
                  (including, without limitation, any predecessor companies)
                  filed for any year which would have a material adverse effect
                  on the assets or properties, business, results of operations,

                  be performed by it under any material contract and no event
                  has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would
                  constitute such a default, in any such case, which default or
                  event would have a material adverse effect on the assets or
                  properties, business, results of operations, prospects or
                  condition (financial or otherwise) of the Corporation, on a

                  to the transactions contemplated herein on such conditions as
                  are acceptable to the Agents and the Corporation, acting
                  reasonably;

their option, to terminate and cancel, without any liability on their part (or
on the part of the Purchasers), their obligations (and the obligations of the

                  Securities Commission, the SEC or other regulatory authority
                  (other than an order based solely upon the activities or
                  alleged activities of the Agents) or any law or regulation is
                  promulgated or changed which, in the reasonable opinion of the
                  Agents, operates to prevent or restrict trading in the Common
                  Shares of the Corporation or distribution of the Offered
                  Securities;

         (c)      there should develop, occur or come into effect any incident
                  of national or international consequence, any law, regulation
                  or inquiry or any other event, action or occurrence of any
                  nature whatsoever which, in the reasonable opinion of the
                  Agents, materially and adversely affects or may materially and
                  adversely affect the financial markets in Canada or the United
                  States generally or the business of the Corporation on a
                  consolidated basis;

         (d)      there should occur any material change or change in a
                  representation and warranty of the Corporation hereunder
                  which, in the reasonable opinion of the Agents

<PAGE>

                  would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse
                  effect on the market price or value of the Offered Securities;

         (e)      the state of the financial markets in Canada or the United
                  States is such that in the reasonable opinion of the Agents,
                  the Offered Securities cannot be profitably marketed or sold;
                  or

         (f)      the Corporation shall be in breach of, or default under or
                  non-compliance with any material representation, warranty,
                  term or condition of this Agency Agreement;

Corporation (in writing or by other means) of the occurrence of any of the
events or circumstances referred to in this section, provided that neither the
giving nor the failure to give such notice shall in any way affect the Agents'
entitlement to exercise this right at any time through to the Time of Closing.

         The Agents' rights of termination contained in this section are in
addition to any other rights or remedies it may have in respect of any default,
act or failure to act or non-compliance by the Corporation in respect of any of
the matters contemplated by this Agency Agreement.

10.2 If the obligations of the Agents and the Purchasers are terminated under
this Agency Agreement pursuant to the termination rights provided for in Section
10.1, the Corporation's liabilities to the Agents shall be limited to the
Corporation's obligations under the indemnity and contribution provisions of

event the Time of Closing shall be later than April 30, 2001.

11.      INDEMNITY

11.1 The Corporation covenants and agrees to indemnify the Agents and their
directors, officers, employees and agents (each being hereinafter referred to as
an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY"), against, and to reimburse the Agents promptly upon
demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Agents in
connection with investigating or defending, all losses (other than a loss of
profits or commission), claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses caused
or incurred in connection with this offering by reason of:

         (a)      any statement, other than a statement relating solely to the
                  Agents, contained in any of the Offering Documents which
                  constitutes a misrepresentation;

         (b)      any statement, other than a statement relating solely to the
                  Agents and provided by or on behalf of the Agents, contained
                  in the Disclosure Documents which at the time and in the light
                  of the circumstances under which it was made, contained a
                  misrepresentation;

<PAGE>

         (c)      the omission to state in any of the Offering Documents, in the
                  Disclosure Documents or any certificate of the Corporation
                  delivered hereunder or pursuant hereto any material fact
                  (other than a material fact omitted in reliance upon and in
                  conformity with information furnished to the Corporation by or
                  on behalf of the Agents) required to be stated therein or
                  necessary to make any statement therein not misleading in
                  light of the circumstances under which it was made;

         (d)      any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceeding
                  commenced or threatened by any Securities Commission or other
                  competent authority based upon any misrepresentation or
                  alleged misrepresentation in any of the Offering Documents or
                  the Disclosure Documents (other than a statement included in
                  reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to
                  the Corporation by or on behalf of the Agents specifically for
                  use therein) which prevents or restricts the trading in the
                  Offered Securities or the distribution or distribution to the
                  public, as the case may be, of the Offered Securities, in any
                  of the Qualifying Provinces;

         (e)      the Corporation not complying with any requirement of any
                  Applicable Securities Laws in connection with the transactions
                  herein provided; or

         (f)      any material breach of any representation or warranty of the
                  Corporation contained herein or the failure of the Corporation
                  to materially comply with any of its obligations hereunder..

11.2 If any action or claim shall be asserted against an Indemnified Party in
respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Corporation pursuant to the
provisions of Section 11.1 or if any potential claim contemplated hereby shall
come to the knowledge of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
promptly notify the Corporation in writing; but the omission to so notify the
Corporation will not relieve the Corporation from any liability it may otherwise
have to the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 11.1. The Corporation shall be
entitled but not obligated to participate in or assume the defence thereof;
provided, however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel acceptable to
the Indemnified Party, acting reasonably. In addition, the Indemnified Party
shall also have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and
participate in the defence thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party unless:

         (a)      the employment thereof has been specifically authorized in
                  writing by the Corporation;

         (b)      the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that
                  representation of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party by
                  the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or
                  potential differing interests between them; or

         (c)      the Corporation has failed within a reasonable time after
                  receipt of such written notice to assume the defence of such
                  action or claim;

provided that in no event shall the Corporation be required to assume the fees
and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties. Neither party
shall effect any settlement of

<PAGE>

any such action or claim or make any admission of liability without the
written consent of the other party, such consent to be promptly considered
and not to be unreasonably withheld. The indemnity hereby provided for shall
remain in full force and effect and shall not be limited to or affected by
any other indemnity in respect of any matters specified herein obtained by
the Indemnified Party from any other person.

11.3 To the extent that any Indemnified Party is not a party to this Agency
Agreement, the Agents shall obtain and hold the right and benefit of the
indemnity provisions of Section 11.1 in trust for and on behalf of such
Indemnified Party.

11.4 Each Agent shall, severally but not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless
the Corporation, each of its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each
person, if any, who controls the Corporation within the meaning of the 1933 ACT
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such indemnified
person may become subject, under the 1933 ACT or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Offering
Document or Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in each case,
to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Offering
Document or Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Agent specifically for use in the preparation
thereof.

12.      CONTRIBUTION

12.1 In the event that the indemnity provided for above is, for any reason,
illegal or unenforceable as being contrary to public policy or for any other
reason, the Agents and the Corporation shall contribute to the aggregate of all
losses, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities (including any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
section but excluding loss of profits or consequential damages) of the nature
provided for above such that the Agents shall be responsible for that portion
represented by the percentage that the Agent's Fee payable by the Corporation to
the Agents bears to the gross proceeds from the sale of the Special Warrants and
the Corporation shall be responsible for the balance, provided that, in no
event, shall the Agents be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount of
the Agency Fee actually received by it. In the event that the Corporation may be
held to be entitled to contribution from the Agents under the provisions of any
statute or law, the Corporation shall, in respect of the Agents, be limited to
contribution in an amount not exceeding the lesser of:

         (i)      the portion of the full amount of losses, claims' costs,
                  damages, expenses and liabilities, giving rise to such
                  contribution for which the Agents are responsible, as
                  determined above, and

         (ii)     the amount of the Agent's Fee actually received by the Agents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party guilty of fraud, fraudulent
misrepresentation, or gross negligence, shall not be entitled to contribution
from the other party. Any party entitled to

contribution will, promptly after receiving notice of commencement of any
claim, action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a
claim for contribution may be made against the other party under this
section, notify such party from whom contribution may be sought. In no case
shall such party from whom contribution may be sought be liable under this
Agency Agreement unless such notice has been provided but the omission to so
notify such party shall not relieve the party from whom contribution may be
sought from any other obligation it may have otherwise than under this
section. The right to contribution provided in this section shall be in
addition and not in derogation of any other right to contribution which the
Agents or the Corporation may have by statute or otherwise by law.

the Agents from time to time for all such expenses immediately upon the receipt
of one or more invoices. The Corporation shall not pay the costs and expenses of

  EXCHANGE, PENALTY AND
  REPURCHASE PROVISIONS:        The Company will use its best efforts to file a
                                prospectus qualifying the Unit Shares and
                                Warrants to be issued in exchange for the
                                Special Warrants in Ontario (and such other
                                provinces as may be agreed to by the Company and
                                the Lead Agent) as soon as practicable after the
                                Closing Date. If the Qualification Deadline has
                                not occurred on or prior to the date that is 120
                                days following the Closing Date or such later
                                date as may be determined at the sole discretion
                                of the Lead Agent, each Special Warrant will be
                                exercisable for 1.1 Units. The Company will
                                continue to use all reasonable commercial
                                efforts to obtain a receipt for the prospectus
                                after 120 days after the Closing Date.

                                In the event a TSE listing of the Company's
                                Common Shares has not been achieved prior to the
                                date six (6) months following the Closing Date,
                                the Escrowed Subscribers shall be entitled, at
                                their option (the "Repurchase Option"), until
                                the Time of Expiry, to require the Company to
                                repurchase their Special Warrants from legally
                                available funds at the Issue Price plus accrued
                                interest.

  USE OF PROCEEDS:              The proceeds from the sale of the Special
                                Warrants will be expended by the Company
                                to finance its growth strategy. Specifically,
                                the proceeds will be allocated to sales and
                                marketing, research and development, working
                                capital purposes and potential acquisitions.

  RESALE RESTRICTIONS:          The Special Warrants will be issued pursuant
                                to exemptions from prospectus requirements of
                                applicable securities legislation and will be
                                subject to resale restrictions under that
                                legislation.

                                If the Company is unable to obtain a receipt for
                                a final prospectus in any Qualifying
                                Jurisdiction and an effective Registration
                                Statement, the Underlying Securities will be
                                subject to statutory hold periods during which
                                time these securities may not be resold in such
                                Qualifying Jurisdictions.

                                In addition, if any Special Warrants are
                                exercised prior to the issuance of receipts for
                                a final prospectus and/or an effective
                                Registration Statement by the securities
                                commissions in any of the Qualifying
                                Jurisdictions, the Underlying Securities will be
                                subject to statutory restrictions on resale.

                                The Company intends to file a prospectus to
                                qualify the Underlying Securities only in the
                                Qualifying Jurisdictions. Accordingly, the
                                Underlying Securities that are acquired outside
                                of the Qualifying Jurisdictions may be subject
                                to resale restrictions.

                                The Special Warrants are not transferable
                                without the prior written consent of the
                                Company. This restriction shall not, however
                                restrict the exercise of the Special Warrants
                                for the Units. Absent an effective Registration
                                Statement, the Warrants are not transferable
                                without the prior written consent of the
                                Company.

  FOREIGN SALES:                The Special Warrants may be sold outside of
                                Canada pursuant to applicable exemptions.

                       OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

Preferred stock issued

         In connection with the 1999 recapitalization of VMI, Voice Mobility
Canada Limited (VM Canada) issued 6,600,000 VM Canada Exchangeable Shares. VM
Canada is a wholly owned subsidiary of VMII. Each VM Canada Exchangeable Share
is exchangeable for one VMII common share at any time at the option of the
shareholder, and will be exchanged no later than July 1, 2009, and has
essentially the same voting, dividend and other rights as one VMII common share.
A share of Series A preferred voting stock, which was issued to a trustee in
trust for the holders of the VM Canada Exchangeable Shares, provides the
mechanism for holders of the VM Canada Exchangeable Shares to have voting rights
in VMII. The Company considers each Exchangeable Share as equivalent to a share
of its common stock and therefore the Exchangeable Shares are included in the
computation of basic earnings per share.

         On December 29, 2000 the Company issued 666,667 units at U.S.$3.00 per
unit for net cash proceeds of U.S.$2,000,000. Each unit comprises one share of
Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and 3/4 of a Class I warrant,
entitling the holder to one share of common stock per warrant, exercisable at
U.S.$1.75 at any time up to November 30, 2003. Each share of Series B Preferred
Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into two shares of Common
Stock and will automatically be converted into Common Stock as of June 30, 2001.
Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to a U.S.$0.195 per annum
dividend. The dividends are not cumulative. Pursuant to an escrow arrangement
between the investors and the Company, the funds have been placed in escrow and
may be withdrawn by the Company in increments of U.S.$500,000 on January 15,
2001, January 31, 2001, February 15, 2001 and February 28, 2001 on a cumulative
basis. The escrow provides that under certain conditions, the Company can
retract, at its option, the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, for the amount
of the paid in capital together with all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Class
I warrants will remain in effect regardless of whether the funds are disbursed
to the Company or returned to the investors from the escrow.
