               The following information amends, supplements and supersedes
the Schedule 13D filed on March 16, 1998 by Steven Price.

               Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

               This statement relates to the Class A Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of PriCellular Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the "Company").  The principal executive offices of
American Cellular Corporation, the successor by merger to the Company, are
located at 1336 Basswood, Suite F, Schaumburg, Illinois 60173.

               Item 2.  Identity and Background

               This statement is filed by Mr. Price.  Mr. Price's business
address is 711 Westchester Avenue, White Plains, New York 10604.  Mr. Price is
a citizen of the United States of America.

               Mr. Price disclaims membership in a group with any other former
shareholders of the Company.

               Mr. Price has not, during the past five years, been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors), nor has Mr. Price been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of
such proceeding been subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such
laws.

               Item 3.  Source and Amount of Consideration

               Not applicable.

               Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction

               On March 6, 1998, the Company and American Cellular
Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("ACC"), entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement").  On June 25, pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, ACC merged with and into the Company, with the Company being the
surviving corporation of such merger (the "Merger").  The surviving
corporation then changed its name to "American Cellular Corporation."  At the
Effective Time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Class A
Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the "Class A Shares"),
and Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company was
converted into the right to receive $14.00 in cash, without interest (the
"Merger Consideration"), and each issued and outstanding share of Series A
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series
A Preferred Stock"), of the Company was converted into the right to receive
the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of Class A Shares into
which each such share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible at such time
in connection with a change of control.   Therefore, upon the effective time
of the Merger, Mr. Price ceased to have any beneficial interest in any
securities of the Company.

               Mr. Price does not currently have any plans or proposals
relating to the activities described in paragraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D.

               Item 5.  Interest in the Securities of the Issuer

               (a) As described above, since the effective time of the Merger
on June 25, 1998, Mr. Price has not owned any securities of the issuer.

               (b) Mr. Price does not have any sole or shared power to vote or
to direct the vote of any shares of Class A Common Stock nor sole or shared
power to dispose of or direct the disposition of any shares of Class A Common
Stock.

               (c)  Except for the transactions described in Item 4 hereof, no
transactions in  shares of Common Stock have been effected during the past 60
days by Mr. Price.

               (d) Not applicable.

               (e) Not applicable.

               Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

               Prior to the Merger, Mr. Price was a party to certain voting
agreements and shareholders' agreements with respect to the stock of the
Company held by him, all of which agreements were described in or incorporated
by reference in prior filings on Schedule 13D by Mr. Price. However, since the
effective time of the Merger such agreements are no longer in effect with
respect to Mr. Price.

               Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

               Exhibit 1: Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 6,
                          1998 between PriCellular Corporation and American
                          Cellular Corporation (schedules omitted).*
