GOAMERICA RECEIVES TEMPORARY EXCEPTION TO NASDAQ'S $1 MINIMUM BID PRICE LISTING
                                  REQUIREMENT

                TRADING SYMBOL CHANGED DURING CONDITIONAL LISTING

Hackensack, NJ--August 19, 2004-- GOAMERICA, INC. (NASDAQ: GOAM AND GOAMC) today
announced that it has received a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel
Determination granting GoAmerica a temporary exception to the $1.00 minimum
closing bid price per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq
SmallCap Market (as required by Nasdaq's Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4)) through at
least October 4, 2004, subject to certain conditions. As previously announced,
GoAmerica had appealed a June 2004 Nasdaq Staff Determination that the Company's
Common Stock be delisted for failure to satisfy the minimum bid price by May 31,
2004.

The Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel provided such additional time for
compliance by GoAmerica with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) because GoAmerica is in
compliance with all other Nasdaq listing requirements; however, the temporary
exception also provides interim deadlines for certain actions the Company must
complete as part of the process of remedying its bid price deficiency. The
Company believes that it can meet these conditions, however, there can be no
assurance that it will do so.

In connection with the temporary exception, Nasdaq has appended a fifth
character "C" to GoAmerica's regular "GOAM" trading symbol, effective as of the
commencement of trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on August 19, 2004, so
that GoAmerica's trading symbol will be "GOAMC" for the duration of the
exception. In the event that the Company's Common Stock ceases to be listed on
The Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company expects to be immediately listed in the
OTC-Bulletin Board maintained by Nasdaq.
