I've only had a smart phone since last December and have not yet registerd it for a Google account - meaning I can't update the Apps etc. I didn't really want to register with Google, however...
Something else I don't have and didn't prticularly want was a Gmail account. Unfortunately... what with the endlessly ongoing issues trying to get emails from a Plusnet email address to Gmail users I may have to consider getting my own Gmail account, purely for diagnostic purposes.
How does all this work with an Android phone? If I register it with Google using the phone number, will I automatically get an accompanying Gmail account, or would I have to apply for that separately?
TIA.
