GoAmerica Broadens Product Offering to Include Voice and Fax

Capabilities, Enhancing the Mobile Office Experience for Customers

GoAmerica, Inc. (NASDAQ: GOAM), a leading nationwide wireless data and Internet services provider and Centrinity Inc. (TSE: CTI), which develops and markets leading unified communication and collaborative groupware technologies, today announced they will integrate their technologies to offer business customers wireless access to unified messaging.

The companies expect the combined offering to be available in the first quarter of 2001.

Under the terms of the three-year worldwide software and maintenance licensing agreement, GoAmerica will combine its leading Go.Web(tm) technology with Centrinity's Unified Communications software solution. The offering, which marks GoAmerica's expansion into unified communications services, will be customized to provide the convenience of access to centralized messaging, enabling wireless interaction with voicemail, email and fax information stored in one location. This offering enhances GoAmerica's existing Go.Web service, which already provides mobile business professionals wireless access to corporate data and the Internet on a variety of wireless devices.

"GoAmerica continues to seek out and integrate superior technology as we deliver on our promise to provide businesses with the best wireless solutions to meet their needs," said Joe Korb, executive vice president and director, GoAmerica. "Go.Web is more than just data. We have expanded our product offering to ensure our business customers enjoy a true mobile working experience, whether interacting with mission-critical information from a remote location or accessing an important voicemail message from the wireless device of choice. Our agreement with Centrinity allows us to enhance the mobile virtual office we have helped to create for each of our customers."

According to International Data Corporation, in the U.S. alone, the number of wireless device users with access to Internet messaging and information will grow to 61.5 million in 2003.

"It is our goal to bring our leading Unified Communications solutions to the business market," said Myles McGovern, president and chief executive officer of Centrinity Inc. "What better way to do that than to team with GoAmerica, the leader in providing flexible wireless solutions for corporations. We know that businesses will appreciate the value of wireless access to unified messaging."

GoAmerica participated in Centrinity's recent private placement of common stock, which closed on September 15, 2000.
