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 Hangout, and the Google
Play Store, require a Google account. To use these apps on your phone, 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.
