OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), November 03, 2014 – Pushing the boundaries far beyond that of the traditional smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Note^® Edge will be available from Sprint on Friday, Nov. 14. Note Edge boasts an innovative curved Edge design for interruption-free notifications.

“Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is a beautiful device and its unique design challenges the notion of what most of us think a smartphone should look like,” said Doug Kaufman, director-Device Strategy, Sprint. “Only Sprint brings our customers the best value in wireless with the Sprint Family Share Pack offering up to 10 lines of service for just $100 or the Sprint $60 Unlimited plan. We make it easy to enjoy all this device has to offer, especially the wrap-around Edge screen.”

Best Value in Wireless

The Sprint Family Share Pack is the best value for families with a new shared-data plan that offers double the high-speed data at a lower price than AT&T and Verizon Wireless on nationally available plans. Sprint is offering a limited-time promotion for the Sprint Family Share Pack – for a family with up to 10 lines, switch to Sprint and get 20GB of shared data and unlimited talk and text while on the Sprint network for only $100 a month through 2015 after the waived access charges.¹
