Antigen Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi, my question is simple, I have bought my first android device and now I have a problem. I'm using a personal domain for email address. Now I need to create a Google Account to access the store and the service offered by Google. With Apple an appleID can be every email address. But with Google Play account? It's possible to create an account with my email or I need to open a Gmail account? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted February 28, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted February 28, 2015 You can create a Google account, and when it asks you for an email address you can just select the option that says, "I want to use my own email address" (i.e. the same as an Apple ID.)

Antigen Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 I lost some services if I do this procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively, you can create one (or use an existing e-mail address of your own). What services you lose are those specifically tied to a Google Account (if you don't use one). Still, it costs nothing - so why NOT use it? (And because it can be used with any mail program that supports IMAP (such as Office 2010 and later - this includes Office365, by the by), what is the harm?. (My GMail account is used only by Google services - nothing else.) My Apple ID is (perversely) my Outlook.com e-mail address - with a different password. (My AppleID is used by my Apple-provided services - from Apple Developer Connection to iCloud.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
