Accounts and Messaging
With Sprint service and your phone’s messaging capabilities, you can 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 Google Account. To use these apps on your phone, 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.
