Accounts and Messaging
With your phone's messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share information through
many different channels and accounts.
Google Account
Many of your phone's applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Hangouts, and the Google
Play store, require a free Google Account. To use these applications, you must set up your Google
Account on your phone. Setting up your account on your phone syncs your phone and your online
Google Account.
Create a Google Account
If you do not already have a Google Account, you can create one using your phone. The first time
you turn on your phone, the setup process prompts you to sign in to your Google Account, or you can
sign in anytime.
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.
