  We compute characteristic (quasinormal) frequencies corresponding to decay of
a massive charged scalar field in a Reissner-Nordstrom black hole background.
It proves that, contrary to the behavior at very late times, at the stage of
quasinormal ringing the neutral perturbations will damp slower than the charged
ones. In the limit of the extremal black hole the damping rate of charged and
neutral perturbations coincides. Possible connection of this with the critical
collapse in a massive scalar electrodynamics is discussed.
