Accounts and Messaging

Set up accounts on your phone, to synchronize information between your phone and accounts. Use your phone’s messaging features to send text and multimedia messages.

Google

Many of your phone’s applications, such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google Talk, and the Google Play Store, require a 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.

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.
