Accounts and Messaging
With Sprint service and your phone’s messaging capabilities, you have the opportunity to share
information through many different channels and accounts.
Gmail / Google
You will need a Google account to access several phone features such as Gmail, Google Maps,
Google Talk, 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.

If you do not already have a Google account, you can create one online or using your phone.

You can also create and sign into your Google/Gmail account through your phone’s setup
screens.

do not need to use Gmail as the default account for your phone.
