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, including Gmail (Google), personal and
corporate email, text and multimedia messaging, social networking accounts, and Google Talk.
Gmail / Google
You will need a Google Account to access several phone features such as Gmail, Google Maps,
Google Talk, and the Play Store 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.
