                    GOAMERICA REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IMPLEMENTED

       Action Effects Split Authorized By Stockholders at Special Meeting


Hackensack, NJ--October 4, 2004-- GoAmerica, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOAM and GOADC) today
announced that it has filed an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of GoAmerica's common stock
based upon a ratio of one-for-eight.

At a special meeting of stockholders held September 30, 2004, the stockholders
of GoAmerica voted to grant the Board of Directors the authority to effect the
reverse stock split of GoAmerica's common stock in order to comply with Nasdaq
Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4), which requires a $1.00 minimum closing bid price
per share for continued listing of GoAmerica's stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. As previously announced, the Nasdaq granted GoAmerica an exception in
August 2004 to achieve a compliant bid price by October 4, 2004 and for no less
than nine consecutive trading days thereafter provided the Company continues to
remain in compliance with all other listing requirements.

The record date for the reverse stock split is Friday, October 1, 2004 and the
reverse stock split was effective as of the close of trading on that same day.
On a pre-split basis, GoAmerica had 16,309,745 shares of common stock
outstanding. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common
stock outstanding to approximately 2,038,715. The reverse stock split affects
all GoAmerica common stock, stock options and warrants outstanding immediately
prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split. GoAmerica will pay cash
in lieu of fractional shares based on the daily average of the high and low
prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market for the
five trading-day period ending on the sixth trading-day after the effective time
of the reverse split.




Stockholders as of the record date will receive instructions for exchanging
pre-split old common stock certificates for post-split new common stock
certificates from GoAmerica's transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company. For more information regarding the reverse stock split, stockholders
are urged to review the Company's Proxy Statement dated September 14, 2004.

Upon commencement of the bid price compliance extension period that began in
August 2004, Nasdaq amended GoAmerica's ticker symbol to "GOAMC", with the
appended "C" indicating such extension. In order to indicate to the investment
community the effect of the reverse split in addition to the bid price
compliance period, Nasdaq has amended GoAmerica's ticker symbol to "GOADC"
temporarily, commencing on Monday, October 4, 2004. Upon GoAmerica's achievement
of minimum bid price compliance, the Company's ticker symbol is expected to
change to "GOAMD". Assuming such price compliance, the Company's ticker symbol
will revert to its original "GOAM" twenty trading days after post-split trading
begins.

In May 2004, GoAmerica effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split in an effort
to meet the Nasdaq SmallCap Market's minimum bid price rule, but was unable to
maintain the required price for the entire ten trading-day compliance period.
The Company expects to release its earnings and file its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2004 within the prescribed
timeframes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the
applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
