HACKENSACK,  NJ, September 12, 2006 -- GoAmerica, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOAM), a leading
provider of online and wireless  telecommunications  relay services (TRS), today
announced the appointment of Jan Dehesh to its Board of Directors.

worldwide basis. Previously,  Ms. Dehesh served as Vice President of Information
Technology   at   QUALCOMM   and   helped   create   the   company's   worldwide
telecommunications and computing infrastructure.

"Jan's experience and involvement within the wireless and technology  industries
will be a great  resource to the  Company as we  continue  to develop  text- and

"The  services  being  developed at  GoAmerica,  along with their  commitment to

and I look  forward  to being a  resource  for the  Company  while  serving  the
shareholders through this position on the Board."

The Company also  announced the retirement of Mark Kristoff from its Board as of
