</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 8%">(Warwick, New York, August&nbsp;1, 2005&#151;Nasdaq: WWVYE; the Company) Warwick Valley Telephone
Company announced today that they have requested that the Nasdaq National Market extend
the Company&#146;s July&nbsp;29, 2005 deadline to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of
2005 in order to avoid the delisting of its Common Shares. The Company does not know
whether its request will be granted, or, if it is, when any new deadline might be; it
understands, however, that its Common Shares will not be delisted while Nasdaq considers
the request for an extension.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 8%">As previously reported, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications
Department of The Nasdaq National Market, Inc., dated April&nbsp;5, 2005, stating that the
Company had failed to comply with Nasdaq&#146;s Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4310(c)(14) because it had
not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.
The Company&#146;s late filing of the Form 10-K is due to the complex nature of the
requirements of Section&nbsp;404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the fact that the
Company encountered unanticipated delays in connection with its evaluation and testing in
its assessment of its internal control over financial reporting. The delays have not
resulted from the discovery of circumstances which would require any restatement of its
prior financials.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 8%">CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 8%">This press release contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the Company&#146;s
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2004 and the Company&#146;s past and
future filings and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a
description of the business environment in which the Company operates and the important
factors that may affect its business. The Company is not under any obligation to (and
expressly disclaims any obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements,
whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.
