A method for pricing wireless communications services on a wireless
network is described. A selection of a plurality of priorities available
for transmitting a wireless communication transaction on a wireless
network is provided, wherein the priority to be selected corresponds to
the speed and allowable delay by which the transaction is to be
transmitted. Transactions of lower priority are temporarily discontinued
in favor of higher priority transactions when network capacity reaches a
predetermined level. An amount is charged for the wireless communication
transaction at a price corresponding to the priority and duration to be
selected.
