i3 MOBILE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Updates Status of Merger Transaction

STAMFORD, Conn., November 12, 2003 – i3 Mobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: IIIM), today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003, and updated the status of its proposed merger with ACE*COMM Corporation.

i3 Mobile reported a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 of $1.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, or $0.07 and $0.45 per share, versus the three and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 net loss of $14.8 million and $36.8 million, respectively, or $0.72 and $1.72 per share.

As of September 30, 2003, i3 Mobile had cash on-hand and cash less current liabilities of approximately $10.4 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

On September 12, 2003, the Company entered into a merger agreement with ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ: ACEC), a global provider of advanced convergent mediation products and enterprise telemanagement software applications, which are employed in wired and wireless networks that deliver voice, data, mixed media and Internet communications, providing customers the ability to capture, secure, validate, and enhance data from multiple networks and technologies. On October 28, 2003, i3 Mobile and ACE*COMM amended the merger agreement. The merger is subject to the approval of the merger agreement, as amended, by the stockholders of i3 Mobile and the approval of the issuance of the ACE*COMM common stock in connection with the merger by the stockholders of ACE*COMM. If such transaction is consummated, i3 Mobile stockholders will receive 0.1876 shares of ACE*COMM common stock for each share of i3 Mobile common stock. The exchange ratio was determined pursuant to a formula valuing

ACE*COMM’s common stock at market value less a discount and valuing i3 Mobile at an amount equal to its cash, net of specified liabilities and commitments at the closing of the merger. J. William Grimes, Chairman of the Board and interim Chief Executive Officer of i3 Mobile said, “I am pleased to report that with the mailing of the merger proxy statement to our shareholders earlier this month, i3 Mobile is hopefully now in the final stages of consummating this merger with ACE*COMM.”

i3 Mobile has called a special meeting of its stockholders to vote upon the proposal to adopt the merger agreement, as amended, and approve the merger with ACE*COMM for December 5, 2003.
