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, social networking accounts, and
Hangouts.
Gmail / Google
You will need a Google Account to access several phone features such as Gmail, Google Maps,
Hangouts, 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.

Google Play, you do not need to use Gmail as the default account for your phone.
