Abstract: A method and a wireless device (100) for handling transmission of data. The cost for transmitting the data from the wireless device (100) can be reduced or even minimized by delaying (1:3) transmission until the transmission cost becomes lower, provided that the data can wait without becoming obsolete or useless at the receiving side. This is made possible by determining a delay tolerance of the data and determining a cost prediction for transmission (1:6) within said delay tolerance, e.g. when a cheaper connection (1:4) is used. Advantages may include reduced price to pay for the transmission, less energy consumption, and avoided usage of precious radio resources and network resources at times when the traffic load is high.
