SUBJECT
TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 9, 2025
PROSPECTUS

Sonim Technologies, Inc.
Up to 1,650,000 Shares of Common Stock
Including up to 550,000
Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Exercise of Warrants
This prospectus relates to the
resale of up to an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of our common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, which consists of up to (i)
1,100,000 shares of our common stock (the “May 2025 Shares”) and (ii) 550,000 shares of
our common stock issuable upon the exercise of certain common stock purchase warrants (the “Warrants”) with a term
of five (5) years and an exercise price of $1.3864 per share (the “Warrant Shares” and, together with the May
2025 Shares, the “Resale Shares”) by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus and their
permitted transferees (the “Selling Stockholders”). For information about the Selling Stockholders,
see the section titled “Selling Stockholders.”
We are registering the offer
and sale of the Resale Shares originally issued in a private placement pursuant to a registration rights agreement, which we entered
into with the Selling Stockholders on May 12, 2025 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration
Rights Agreement was contemplated by that certain subscription agreement between us and the Selling Stockholders entered on May
12, 2025 (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, we issued and sold the May
2025 Shares and the Warrants at a price of $1.25 per share of our common stock and the accompanying one-half of a Warrant,
for an aggregate purchase price of $1,375,000. We issued the May 2025 Shares and the Warrants in reliance upon the
exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
We are not selling any shares
of our common stock and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares by the Selling Stockholders, pursuant
to this prospectus; however, we will receive the exercise price to purchase the Warrant Shares upon any cash exercise of the Warrants
by the Selling Stockholders. For information, see the section titled “Use of Proceeds.”
The
Resale Shares (assuming the exercise of the entirety of the Warrants and disregarding the beneficial ownership limitation of the Selling
Stockholders described in this prospectus) represent approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as
of July 7, 2025, and approximately 10% of our public float. Given the substantial number of shares of our common stock
being registered for potential resale by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus and prospectuses filed as
a part of registration statements dated December 1, 2023 and September 16, 2024 in connection with a resale of our common
stock by certain selling stockholders, the sale of shares of our common stock, or the perception in the market that holders of a large
number of shares intend to sell shares, could increase the volatility of the market price of our common stock or result in a significant
decline in the public trading price of our common stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make
it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. For more information,
see the risk factor titled “Sales of our common stock under resale registration statements or the perception of such sales in
the public market or otherwise could cause the market price for our common stock to decline, even if our business is doing well”
on page 30 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March
31, 2025.
The Selling Stockholders
identified in this prospectus may offer the Resale Shares from time to time through public or private transactions at fixed prices, at
prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time
of sale, or at negotiated prices. The registration of the Resale Shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholders, however, does not
necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell the Resale Shares under this registration statement at any time
in the near future or at all. We cannot predict when, or in what amounts, the Selling Stockholders may sell any of the Resale
Shares. The timing and amount of any sale of the Resale Shares are within the sole discretion of the Selling Stockholders.
We will pay all expenses of registering the Resale Shares, including legal and accounting fees. All selling and other expenses incurred
by the Selling Stockholders will be borne by the Selling Stockholders. For additional information on the possible methods
of sale that may be used by the Selling Stockholders, see the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”
Investing in our common stock
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 7 of this prospectus and under
similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus before purchasing any of the Resale Shares
offered by this prospectus.
Our common stock is traded on
the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “SONM.” The last reported sale price of our common
stock on Nasdaq on July 8, 2025, was $0.6859 per share.
We may amend or supplement this
prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required. You should read the entire prospectus and any amendments
or supplements carefully before you make your investment decision.
We are a “smaller reporting
company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting
requirements. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company”
on page 4 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and
Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus
is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The
date of this prospectus is , 2025.

ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS
This
prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), using the “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling
Stockholders may offer and sell the shares of our common stock described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. Any accompanying
prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus may also add, update, or change information contained in this prospectus
or in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. If the information varies between this prospectus and the accompanying
prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should read this prospectus,
any accompanying prospectus supplement, and any related free writing prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein by
reference as described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation

You should rely only on the information
contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement, and any applicable free writing
prospectus. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We and the
Selling Stockholders take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information
that others may give you. Neither we nor the Selling Stockholders are making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction
where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement,
any applicable free writing prospectus, or the documents incorporated by reference, is accurate as of any date other than the dates of
those documents regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or prospectus supplement or any sale of the Resale Shares. Since
the respective dates of this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and prospects may have changed.
For investors outside the United
States, neither we nor the Selling Stockholders have done anything that would permit this offering, or possession or distribution
of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required
other than in the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus, any applicable prospectus
supplement, or free writing prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of the Resale
Shares and the distribution of this prospectus outside of the United States.
Unless
otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise, when we refer to “Sonim,” “we,” “our,” “us,”
and the “Company” in this prospectus, we mean Sonim Technologies, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we refer
to “you,” we mean the potential holders of the applicable series of securities.
All
references to “this prospectus” refer to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, including the documents
incorporated by reference herein and therein, unless the context otherwise requires.
Solely
for convenience, tradenames referred to in this prospectus appear without the ® and ™ symbols, but those references are not
intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights, or that the applicable
owner will not assert its rights, to these tradenames. We do not intend our use or display of other companies’ trademarks,
trade names, service marks or copyrights to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, such other companies.
CAUTIONARY
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or
current expectations of our management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The forward-looking

|
|
|
|
● |
expectations regarding the period during which we will qualify as a “smaller reporting company.” |
Forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
● |
the
availability of cash on hand and other sources of liquidity to fund our operations and grow our business; |
|
● |
our ability to compete effectively depends on multiple factors, and we may not be able to continue to develop solutions to address user needs effectively; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the current interest of third parties and
the potential attempt of a hostile takeover or hostile stockholder activism may divert the management’s attention from Sonim’s
business and may require significant expenses to address; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we may be negatively impacted by changes in
U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we may not be able to continue to develop
solutions to address user needs effectively, including our next-generation products, which could materially adversely affect our
liquidity and our ability to continue operations; |
|
|
|
|
● |
a small number of customers account for a significant portion of our revenue; |
|
|
|
|
● |
failure to meet the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and other Nasdaq rules could adversely affect the price of our common stock and make it more difficult for us to sell securities in a future financing or for you to sell our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the financial and operational projections that we may provide from time to time are subject to inherent risks; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to incorporate emerging technologies into our new consumer products given the lengthy development cycle; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to adapt to shortened customer lead times and tightened inventory controls from our key customers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we are materially dependent on some customer relationships that are characterized by product award letters and the loss of such relationships could harm our business and operating results; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our quarterly results may vary significantly from period to period; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we rely primarily on third-party contract manufacturers and partners; |
|
|
|
|
● |
if our products contain defects or errors, we could incur significant unexpected expenses, experience product returns and lost sales, experience product recalls, suffer damage to our brand and reputation, and be subject to product liability or other claims; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we are required to undergo a lengthy customization and certification process for each wireless carrier customer; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we are dependent on the continued services and performance of a concentrated and limited group of senior management and other key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
● |
we face risks related to the impact of various economic, political, environmental, social, and market events beyond our control that can impact our business and results of operations; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
other risks and uncertainties other risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and documents we have filed with the SEC thereafter. |
Moreover,
we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management
to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of
these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement
and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those
anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Because
forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should
not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking
statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
You should read this prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein completely and with the understanding that
our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation
to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement, and the
other documents we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated herein by reference to conform such statements to actual results or
to changes in our expectations.
PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
This
summary description about us and our business highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated
by reference into this prospectus. It does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You
should carefully read the entire prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, and any related free writing prospectus, including
the risks of investing in our securities discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this
prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents
that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should also carefully read the information incorporated by reference into
this prospectus, including our financial statements, and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part.
Overview
We are a leading U.S.-based
provider of enterprise 5G solutions, offering a robust portfolio that includes rugged handsets, smartphones, wireless internet devices,
software, services, and accessories. These products are engineered for reliable communication in challenging and unpredictable environments,
serving sectors such as critical communications, first responders, government, industrial, construction, hospitality, and logistics.
We currently have products available at all three U.S. Tier-one carriers – AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon as well as the three
primary carriers in Canada – Bell, Telus and Rogers, and Telstra in Australia. These carriers then resell our products, along with
network services, to end customers focusing on two primary end markets: industrial enterprise and public sector. We also sell our products
through distributors and resellers in various markets, including Europe and South Africa.
In 2023, Sonim announced a
strategic expansion initiative, focusing on broadening its market reach with new products, geographical markets, and customer segments
including enterprise, small and medium business, and prosumers. This strategy is underpinned by a strong emphasis on execution. We have
introduced new product categories: Connected Solutions featuring wireless internet products, a next-generation rugged smartphone, and
a new range of mid and low-tier professional rugged phones, all boasting IP ratings, MIL-STD-810H standards, and elements of Sonim’s
RPS, highlighting our value proposition to target markets.
During the second half of
2024 and through the filing date of this prospectus, Sonim launched the following products:
|
● |
Sonim H500-series of 5G mobile hotspots available through Verizon,
UScellular, and Bell in North America; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Sonim H700, the world’s first 5G Release 17 and Wi-Fi 7 rugged
mobile hotspot, available through Telstra in Australia; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Sonim H100 4G mobile hotspot available through Telia Finland and
distribution partners in Europe; |
|
|
|
|
● |
XP100 4G and XP400 5G professional rugged phones available through
Deutsche Telekom in Germany and distribution partners in Europe and South Africa; |
|
|
|
|
● |
XP Pro 5G rugged smartphone available through Verizon in the United
States; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
XP3plus 5G rugged flip phone available through T-Mobile and certified
for T-Priority. |
Additionally, the XP10 is
now available through our distribution partners in EMEA and Australia. Most of these products are supported by the SonimWare platform
and enterprise services. In the first quarter of 2025, the XP Pro 5G and H500 5G each received Verizon Frontline certification. In the
first quarter of 2025 we also announced the upcoming launch and availability of the XP Pro Thermal 5G smartphone for Europe which includes
an SDK-enabled Sonim IRIS software for custom application development and an integrated thermal camera by FLIR® that benefits a number
of vertical trades such as electricians, plumbers, public safety, construction, agriculture, amongst others.
Geographic market expansion
continues with agreements and product availability through new distribution partners in Europe and South Africa, catering to carrier,
reseller, and enterprise sales channels. New partners include TCCM, Brodos, Modino, Ingram Micro, and Cernotech, which bolster our presence
in these regions. This strategic alignment supports our commitment to offering reliable solutions and expanding our customer base.
Implications of Being a Smaller
Reporting Company
We are also a “smaller reporting
company,” as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We may
take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these
scaled disclosures for so long as:
|
(1) |
the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million; or |
|
(2) |
our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million. |
For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company,
we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies
that are not applicable to a smaller reporting company. For example, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the
two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, similar to emerging growth companies,
smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. As a result, the information in this
prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus, or the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein that we provide
to our investors in the future may be different than what investors might receive from other public reporting companies. If investors
consider our common stock less attractive as a result of our election to use the scaled-back disclosure permitted for smaller reporting
companies, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

laws of the state of Delaware on August 5, 1999. Our principal executive offices are located at 4445 Eastgate Mall, Suite 200, San Diego,

Risk
Factors: |
|
Investing
in our securities involves substantial risks. You should read the “Risk Factors” section of
this prospectus and similarly titled sections in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of
factors to consider before deciding to purchase our securities. |
RISK
FACTORS
An
investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider
the risks discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement together
with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties, and assumptions discussed under “Part I—Item
1A—Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors”
in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K that are incorporated herein by reference, as may
be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties
we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem
immaterial may also affect our operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations,
or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all
or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section above titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”
and the identically titled sections of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or
Current Reports on Form 8-K.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares by the Selling Stockholders.
We will receive proceeds from
the cash exercise of the Warrants, which, if exercised for cash with respect to all of the 550,000 shares of common stock underlying
such Warrants at the exercise price per share of $1.3864, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $0.76 million.
We intend to use any net proceeds from the cash exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that
any of the Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Stockholders. Currently, the Warrants cannot be exercised on a cashless basis,
however, there can be no assurance that the terms of the Warrants will not be amended in the future to permit the Warrants to be exercised
on a cashless basis. If the Warrants (as amended to permit the cashless exercise of the Warrants) are exercised in a cashless exercise,
we will not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants.
The Selling Stockholders
will receive all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Resale Shares under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will pay
any underwriting, broker-dealer or agent discounts, concessions and commissions, and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders
for accounting, tax, and legal services and any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholders in disposing of the Resale
Shares, unless otherwise agreed to by us. We will be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one firm
of attorneys retained by the Selling Stockholders in connection with the sale of the Resale Shares and shall bear all other costs,
fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Resale Shares covered by this prospectus.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The Resale Shares being offered
by the Selling Stockholder are comprised of (i) 1,100,000 May 2025 Shares issued to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Subscription
Agreement and (ii) 550,000 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Both the May 2025 Shares and the Warrants
were acquired in a private placement and issued and sold pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. Except for the Subscription Agreement
and agreements and transactions contemplated thereby, we have not had any material relationship with the Selling Stockholders.
For additional information regarding the issuance of the Resale Shares, see the section titled “Certain Relationship
with Selling Stockholders” below. We are registering the Resale Shares in order to permit the Selling Stockholders
to offer the shares for resale from time to time.
Under the terms of the Warrants,
the Selling Stockholders may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause the Selling Stockholders,
together with his affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock that would exceed 9.99%,
as applicable, of the then outstanding number of shares of common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants that have not been exercised.
The Selling Stockholders
may sell all, some, or none of their shares in this offering. For more information, see the section titled “Plan
of Distribution.”
The table below lists the Selling
Stockholders and provides other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock held by the Selling
Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders.
The third column lists the shares of our common stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders. The fourth
column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders registered pursuant to this prospectus and that the
Selling Stockholders do not buy or sell any additional shares of common stock prior to the completion of this offering.
The number of shares and percentage
of beneficial ownership set forth below is based on 17,738,905 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 7, 2025.
Beneficial ownership is determined under the SEC rules and regulations and generally includes voting or investment power over securities.
We have prepared the table based on information given to us by, or on behalf of, the Selling Stockholders. Information concerning
the Selling Stockholders may change from time to time. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will
in fact sell any or all of the securities being offered hereunder. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may sell, transfer, or
otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of
the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. In addition, since the date on which the Selling Stockholders provided this
information to us, such Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the offered securities.

Certain
Relationships with Selling Stockholders
Subscription
Agreement
On May 12, 2025, we entered
into the Subscription Agreement with the Selling Stockholders, providing for the private placement of (i) the May 2025
Shares and (ii) the Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $1,375,000 (or $1.25 per share and and the accompanying
one-half of a Warrant). The closing of the private placement occurred contemporaneously with the execution of the Subscription
Agreement.
Warrants
The Warrants have an exercise
price of $1.3864 per share, are immediately exercisable, will expire on May 12, 2030 (five years from the date of issuance),
and are subject to customary adjustments for certain transactions affecting the Company’s capitalization. The Warrants may not
be exercised if the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders would exceed the
specified beneficial ownership limitation provided therein (which ranges from 4.99% to 19.99% and may be adjusted upon
advance notice) immediately after exercise thereof.
Registration Rights Agreement
On May 12, 2025, in connection
with the entry into the Subscription Agreement, the Company entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholders.

provisions in the Warrants and (iv) any securities issued or then issuable upon any stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization
or similar event with respect to the foregoing. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC by November 12, 2025.

The Selling Stockholders
will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. We do
not know of specific arrangements by the Selling Stockholders for the sale of the Resale Shares. The aggregate proceeds to the
Selling Stockholders from any sale of the Resale Shares will be the purchase price of the Resale Shares less discounts or commissions,
if any. The Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with his respective agents from time to time, to reject,
in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of the Resale Shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the
proceeds from any such sale.
Broker-dealers engaged by the
Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in
amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess
of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a mark-up or mark-down
in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of
the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume.
The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan
or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into
option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require
the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer
or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). We may
suspend the sale of securities by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain
reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information, and we may
file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to include any material information
with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement.
The Selling Stockholders
also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees, or other successors-in-interest will
be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Stockholders that a donee,
pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required and permitted, promptly
file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders
may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of the securities owned by them and, if a Selling Stockholders
defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of the securities,
from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the Selling Stockholders
to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling
Stockholders also may transfer shares of the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees, or other
successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

and any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the Resale Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within

Item 15.
Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section
145 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) empowers a corporation, within certain limitations,
to indemnify any person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with any suit or proceeding to which such person is a party by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, as long as such person acted
in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. With
respect to any criminal proceedings, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.
In
the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (e.g., a stockholder derivative
suit), a corporation may indemnify an officer, director, employee, or agent if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that no person adjudged to be
liable to the corporation may be indemnified unless, and only to the extent that, the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which
such action or suit was brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances
of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court deems proper. A director,
officer, employee, or agent who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding subject to the DGCL’s indemnification
provisions must be indemnified by the corporation for reasonable expenses incurred therein, including attorneys’ fees.
Section
102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty
of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit.
As
permitted by the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation allows for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees,
and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. Our amended and restated bylaws also provide for the indemnification of
our directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.
We
have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers, whereby we have agreed to indemnify our directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which
the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of Sonim, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or
officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of Sonim.
We
maintain insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Exchange Act, that
might be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.
The
foregoing summaries are subject to the complete text of the DGCL and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended
and restated bylaws and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
(1) |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided,
however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
|
(2) |
That,
for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering. |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date
it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is
part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
|
|
|
|
(5) |
That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
|
|
(6) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in the City of Scottsdale, State of Arizona, on July 9, 2025.
