  Item 4.       Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
  
           On May 5, 2003, Price Communications Corporation, a New York
  corporation ("Registrant"), dismissed Deloitte & Touche LLP ("DT") as
  Registrant's principal accountant to audit Registrant's financial statements,
  and effective the same date engaged BDO Seidman, LLP ("Seidman") in place of DT.
  Both the dismissal of DT and the engagement of Seidman were approved by

  principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
  procedure. There were no reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
  Regulation S-K.
  
           The reports of Registrant's principal accountants on Registrant's
  financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 did not
  contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or
  modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
  
           During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002 and through the date
  hereof, Registrant did not consult Seidman regarding the application of
  accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed,
  or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant's financial
  statements, or any of the matters or reportable events set forth in Items
  304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
  
           Registrant has provided DT with a copy of the disclosure it is making
