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.
Gmail
This email client is Google's web-based email service. (See Synchronize Your Google Account.)
From a computer, launch your preferred web browser and navigate to www.gmail.com. Depending
on your synchronization settings, Gmail (along with calendar events, phone numbers and other
contact information) on your phone is automatically synchronized between your phone and your
Gmail account on the web.
Create a Google Account
You must create and/or sign into a Google Account to use Gmail™, Google Talk™, Google
Calendar™, and other Google Apps. Signing into a Google Account is also necessary to download
applications from the Play Store™, to sync your data (if applicable) with the Google servers, and to
take advantage of any other available Google services on your phone.
If you don't have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise
account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have special
instructions on how to sign into that account.
1. From a computer, or from your phone's Browser, navigate to www.google.com.
2. On the main page, select Sign In > S IGN UP.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to create your free account.
4. Log into your provided email address, locate the email from Google, and respond to the new
email to both confirm and activate your new account.
