ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

    On July 31, 2002, Price Communications Corporation, a New York
corporation ("Registrant"), dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP ("AA") as
Registrant's principal accountant to audit Registrant's financial statements,
and effective the same date engaged Deloitte & Touche in place of AA. Both
the dismissal of AA and the engagement of Deloitte & Touche were approved by
Registrant's Board of Directors and Audit and Finance Committee.

    AA's reports on Registrant's financial statements for each of the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 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, 2000 and 2001 and through the date
hereof, there were no disagreements with AA on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to AA's satisfaction, would
have caused AA to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements
in connection with AA's reports on Registrant's financial statements for such
years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K.

    Registrant has been advised that AA is no longer in a position to provide
letters relating to its termination as a former audit client's principal
accountant in accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, and that AA's
inability to provide such letters has been discussed with the staff at the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

    During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and through the date
hereof, Registrant did not consult Deloitte &Touche 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.



                                   SIGNATURES

    Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
