Mr. Zigmund C. Nowicki Jr, Secretary
Warwick Valley Telephone Company
47 Main Street
Warwick, NY   10990

Dear Mr. Nowicki:

Santa Monica Partners, L. P. and Lawrence J Goldstein the managing person
of its general partner SMP Asset Management, LLC, 1865 Palmer Avenue,
Larchmont, New York, 10538 represents that Santa Monica Partners, L. P. is
the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock of Warwick Valley Telephone
Company with a market value of at least $2,000, has held such shares
continuously for at least one year and intends to hold the shares until
the annual meeting.

Enclosed herewith is a letter of proof of Santa Monica Partners' ownership
of Warwick Valley Telephone stock from its stockbroker Pershing LLC.

MAXIMIZING VALUE RESOLUTION

Santa Monica Partners, L. P. herewith submits the following resolution and
supporting statement for inclusion in the 2005 Proxy Statement. Mr.
Lawrence J. Goldstein or his representative will introduce the resolution
at the annual meeting.

Resolved that the shareholders urge the Board of Directors to arrange for
the prompt sale of Warwick Valley Telephone Company to the highest bidder.

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

The purpose of the proposal is to allow Warwick Valley Telephone Company
shareholders to send a message to the Board that they support the prompt
sale of the Company to the highest bidder. A strong and or majority vote
by the shareholders would indicate to the board the displeasure felt by
the shareholders of the shareholder returns over many years and the
drastic action that should be taken. Even if it is approved by the
majority of the Warwick Valley Telephone Company shares represented and
entitled to vote at the annual meeting, the Maximize Value Resolution will
not be binding on the Warwick Valley Telephone Company Board. The
proponent however believes that if this resolution receives substantial
support from the shareholders, the board may choose to carry out the
request set forth in the resolution.

The prompt auction of Warwick Valley Telephone Company should be
accomplished by any appropriate process the board chooses to adopt,
including a sale to the highest bidder whether in cash, stock, or a
combination of both. It is expected that the board will uphold its
fiduciary duties to the utmost during the process.

The proponent further believes that if the resolution is adopted, the
management and the board will interpret such adoption as a message from
the company's stockholders that it is no longer acceptable for the board
to continue with its current management plan and strategies.


WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT, VOTE FOR THIS RESOLUTION
*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Sincerely,
Lawrence J. Goldstein, President
