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, and social networking accounts.
Gmail / Google
You will need a Google Account to access several phone features such as Gmail, Google Maps,
YouTube™, 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: 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.
Create a Google Account Online
1. From a computer, launch a Web browser and navigate to google.com.
2. On the main page, click Sign-in > Create an account now.
3. Follow the onscreen prompts to create your free account.

Note: When setting up a new Google Account, either on your phone or online, you will be prompted
to add a secondary email address. Enter a second Gmail address or any other email address from
which you currently send and receive email. This address is used to authenticate your account
should you ever encounter problems or forget your password. It is strongly encouraged for Android
users so you can regain access to Google services and purchases on your phone.
