Accounts and Messaging
With wireless service and your phone's messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share
information through many different channels and accounts, including Gmail (Google), personal and
corporate email, text and multimedia messaging, social networking accounts, and Hangouts.
Gmail/Google
You will need a Google account to access several phone features such as Gmail, Google Maps,
Hangouts, and the Google Play applications. Before you are able to access Google applications,
you must enter your account information. These applications sync between your phone and your
online Google account.
Important: Be careful not to forget your Google account email address and password.
Note: Operation and display may be changed due to automatic app updates, etc.
Create a Google Account
If you do not already have a Google account, you can create one online or using your phone.
Note: You can also create and sign into your Google/Gmail account through your phone's setup application.
Note: Although you need a Gmail account to use certain features of your phone, such as Google Play, you do
not need to use Gmail as the default account for your phone.
