pes2013 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have (for example) bob@outlook.com I tried to register bob@gmail.com but it says it is taken. Can I make a Google Account out of bob@outlook.com? How? Or am I doing something impossible? Note: I am saying a Google Account, NOT a gmail account.

nekkidtruth Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 A Google Account requires a Gmail address. Well, requires a Gmail address is not entirely true. Google requires you to create a Gmail address in order to get a Google Account of any type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remixedcat Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 if you have an email address associated with your google account that's not a gmail address and you have it on your phone you will get "google talk authentication failed" notifications on your phone and it will annoy you.

fastcat Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 You don't need a Gmail address, I am using my Inbox.com email address for my Google account, but Google keeps trying push Gmail down your throat, once you have a Google account getting a Gmail only takes a couple of clicks, make sure to refuse it.
