OTHER EVENTS GoAmerica, Inc. (the "Company") recently received from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel a letter confirming that the Company's 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)) was extended through at least January 30, 2004. The Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel provided such additional time for compliance by GoAmerica with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) because GoAmerica remains in compliance with all other Nasdaq listing requirements, and to allow for further developments in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rule-making process with respect to Nasdaq's proposal to change its minimum bid price rules. Nasdaq recently proposed certain modifications to its minimum bid price requirements, which modifications if adopted would provide GoAmerica with additional time to comply with the minimum bid price requirement. On December 19, 2003, the Company announced that it had executed definitive agreements with multiple investors providing for the investors to purchase 96,666,666 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 (the "Common Stock"), for an aggregate purchase price of $14.5 million in a private placement offering (the "Financing"). The proposed Financing, which is subject to standard conditions, has been approved by the Company's Board of Directors and is being presented to GoAmerica's stockholders for approval at a special stockholder meeting that is currently anticipated to be held in late January 2004. As part of the Financing, on December 19, 2003, GoAmerica received an approximately $1 million secured bridge loan from the investors, which loan is not dependent on stockholder approval, pursuant to 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") and certain warrants. The Notes were purchased by the investors at their par value in proportional amounts to their aggregate investment commitments in the Financing. The principal on the Notes and accrued interest are due and payable on March 18, 2004, subject to extension for up to another 30 days upon the consent of the Company and the holders of a majority-in-interest of the Notes. Upon closing of the Financing after stockholder approval, the Notes and all accrued interest will automatically convert into Common Stock at a price of $0.15 per share. Payment of the Notes' principal and interest is secured by a pledge of the stock of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Wynd Communications Corporation ("Wynd Communications"). The Company issued press releases on December 19, 2003 with respect to the Financing and the Company's plans for a strategic refocusing based upon consummation of the Financing. Additionally, Wynd Communications issued a press release on December 19, 2003 announcing certain customer service improvement plans, including 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service through its new outsourcing relationship with Communication Services for the Deaf, Inc.

Josh Rochlin SVP, Strategy and Corporate Development jrochlin@corp.goamerica.net 201-996-1717 GOAMERICA UNVEILS STRATEGIC DIRECTION New Financing to Enable Broader Efforts in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Markets HACKENSACK, NJ - December 19, 2003 - GoAmerica, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOAM) today outlined plans for a strategic refocusing to be facilitated by $14.5 million in proposed financing announced earlier today. The new financing, which is subject to certain conditions (including shareholder approval), is intended to enable a strategic expansion of the Company's focus on communications solutions for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. "The fresh start afforded to GoAmerica should enable us to improve the service for our current customers and to develop and deliver innovative new products and offerings for people who are deaf or hard of hearing," said Dan Luis, CEO of GoAmerica. "I know our shareholders, customers, employees and partners have waited patiently for the day that we'd signal our new direction and it is rewarding to share these plans along with news of a significant pending investment." Luis continued, "In 2003, we focused on reducing financial constraints associated with debt, maintaining the listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ SmallCap Market and obtaining the commitments of necessary funding for future operations. We will now devote the same energy to improving our business and executing our growth plans. Our strategy, to be facilitated by the anticipated funding, is centered on the pursuit of three priorities, focused on our Wynd Communications subsidiary: 1) growth of its core wireless services business; 2) development and marketing of new communications services, including branded IP and Video Relay services; and 3) streamlined operations to enable superior customer support. This is an exciting moment for GoAmerica as we begin 2004 with renewed strength and enthusiasm." Growth of Core Wynd Business According to the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), there are an estimated 28 million people who are deaf or hard of hearing, in the United States. GoAmerica's subsidiary, Wynd Communications, markets to people who are profoundly deaf, the smallest segment of this population. Management believes there is additional growth potential in this market, beyond Wynd's current base of approximately 14,000 customers, as well as significant opportunity in the hard-of-hearing market. GoAmerica plans to leverage these opportunities by implementing several strategic marketing programs, developing communication technology enhancements and expanding into the broader hard-of-hearing market with new wireless and wireline communications solutions. "We expect to deliver new benefits to our current customers while further strengthening our position in the market," said Josh Rochlin, SVP of strategy and corporate development. "With a strengthened balance sheet and an aggressive yet realistic strategy, GoAmerica is poised to realize the potential of its core business and pursue exciting opportunities including partnerships, acquisitions and technological innovations." Development and Marketing of new IP and Video Relay Services Many consumers who have difficulty hearing or speaking rely on the nation's Telecommunications Relay Service infrastructure that was created as a by-product of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 ("ADA"). Under the ADA, the federal government provides reimbursement to telecommunications companies which offer `functionally equivalent' services to people with hearing or speech disabilities. Internet Protocol Relay (IP Relay) and Video Relay, two enhancements to the Telecommunications Relay Service, have further improved the communication experience for deaf consumers by providing easier, quicker connections and enabling visual communication using sign language. Together, IP and Video relay are quickly changing the way deaf Americans communicate. "The ubiquity of computing technologies, the expanded adoption of broadband, and the ongoing need of people with hearing loss for accessible communication, have created an opportunity for GoAmerica to enter this market of federally reimbursable services and develop new lines of revenue," said Joe Karp, director of marketing for GoAmerica. "We believe that by enhancing the customer experience for relay services and partnering with carriers seeking to increase usage of their relay platforms, we can position ourselves to tap this new revenue opportunity. We hope to develop the opportunity in this area through a combination of partnerships and organically developed products such as a WyndRelay.com portal and an innovative software client." Streamlined Operations GoAmerica operations will be focused on providing high quality, accessible support to its customers. Operational improvements in the areas of customer support, billing and service solutions are expected to further enhance the overall customer experience while streamlining the Company's cost structure. As part of this initiative, GoAmerica recently entered into an outsourcing relationship with Communications Services for the Deaf in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which now enables support on a 7 X 24 basis. Additionally, the Company will be relocating its Wynd Communications subsidiary from its present location in San Luis Obispo, California to GoAmerica headquarters in Hackensack, New Jersey. This site consolidation is expected to provide better access to the Company's target market as well as provide the benefit of economies of scale and is projected for completion in April 2004. Status of Go.Web(TM) GoAmerica previously disclosed that it has suspended divestiture efforts with respect to its Go.Web technology and has developed an operating plan to retain the intellectual property and revenue stream for the Go.Web software while reorganizing the Company's human and financial resources around the new mission. "We received offers for the Go.Web technology; however, the expected margin contribution associated with maintaining Go.Web exceeds the one-time proceeds we would have garnered through a sale. Our analysis indicated that if we could restructure our creditor obligations while retaining our intellectual property and the associated revenue stream, the Company's intellectual property portfolio and financial position would be stronger," said Josh Rochlin, SVP of strategy and corporate development for GoAmerica. Financial Information and Revenue Expectations The following financial information is being made available in conjunction with disclosure obligations associated with the Company's financing activities. Overall, GoAmerica, Inc. expects to post revenues for fiscal 2003 of approximately $12 million, with operating losses and one-time charges associated with restructuring. As a result of the financing, the Company's revenue objective for 2004 is currently $12-13 million, with a goal of quarterly net income profitability by the end of that year. The revenue objective for 2005 is currently $16-18 million, with a goal of net income as a percent of revenues in excess of 10%. The revenue contribution expected from the Company's Go.Web technology is expected to decline from approximately 30% of revenues in 2003 to approximately 14% and 4% in 2004 and 2005, respectively. As it relates to subscriber metrics, Wynd's historical subscriber acquisition costs have ranged between $110-130, with average monthly revenues per subscriber between $40-44. Historical subscriber gross margin has been approximately 50%. Churn among these subscribers, during the past 12 months, was approximately 2% per month. The Company is continuing to examine its subscriber base in order to improve payment profiles; as a result, overall revenues and subscriber counts may decline through the end of the first quarter of 2004.

In addition to new billing and customer relationship management tools, Wynd launched an outsourcing relationship with Communication Services for the Deaf, Inc. (CSD) to enable high-caliber 24 X 7 support. "We've taken customer feedback to heart," said Dan Luis, chief executive officer for GoAmerica, Wynd's parent company. "We've challenged ourselves to deliver a support experience that is on par with the quality of our wireless services. From ordering and billing to technical support, nearly all aspects of the customer experience will be significantly enhanced in the coming months. We are excited to team with CSD to offer the high-quality support our customers deserve." Wynd has developed a phased approach to improving the customer experience. During the first phase of this initiative, Wynd activated support tools such as new billing and customer relationship management software, and began outsourcing customer service functions to CSD. CSD is taking customer calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and gathering relevant information for quicker resolution by Wynd support experts. During the second phase, expected to launch later this month, Wynd will provide CSD with access to Wynd's internal systems, allowing CSD service specialists to view customer information, create trouble tickets and resolve issues for the majority of customer service inquiries. "Advanced technology is making communication more accessible in today's world, and wireless services and devices are quickly becoming a lifeline for the Deaf community," said Benjamin Soukup, president and CEO of CSD. "Wynd's efforts to enhance and improve these services underscore their renewed commitment to the customer. We share this commitment and are thrilled to play such an important role in their new customer service initiative." Phase One of Wynd's customer service improvement initiative specifically addresses those areas of Wynd's business that will have the greatest impact on the customer experience, including the availability of its support team, its internal processes, and its internal and external support tools. Highlights of today's announced initiatives include: o Expanded Support Call Hours Make Support More Accessible: Wynd's relationship with CSD has enabled Wynd to make its support more accessible and available for longer periods of time. o Process Improvement Expedites Issue Resolution: Wynd has completely restructured the internal processes it uses to resolve customer issues, simplifying how its representatives provide customers support. This means that customers will see issues resolved faster than before. o New Internal and External Tools Make Most Issues Addressable in a Single Call: New customer support tools will enable Wynd to build a consistent, positive experience by putting customer history, device information, and more, at the support representatives' fingertips. Additionally, customers will be empowered to view billing information online via Wynd's web site. "At its foundation, our service initiative is designed to ensure that Wynd customers get their issues resolved quickly and efficiently, and that they experience outstanding support," said Frank Endres, Wynd's director of operations, and primary architect of the service improvement plan. "By integrating the call handling expertise of CSD with new tools and processes, we expect to deliver superior customer support."
