Although you need a Google 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.
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 Hangouts, and the Google 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.
