Accounts and Messaging

With wireless 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 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.

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.
Note: 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.
