Accounts and Messaging

With 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
Play Store, require a free 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 using your phone. The first time you
turn on your phone, the setup process prompts you to sign in to your Google Account, or you can sign in
anytime.
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.
