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.
Google Account
Many of your phone’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, and the Google
Play Store, require a 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 online or using your phone.
Note:
You can also create and sign into your Google/Gmail account through your phone’s
Setup application.
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.
