1. Go to Settings > Network & internet > SIM cards.
2. Touch the SIM to change.
3. Change settings as needed:
•
To rename a SIM, touch SIM name, then type a new name.
•
To change icon color, touch Color, then touch a color.

To change the SIM's ringtone, touch Phone ringtone, then select a ringtone.

Add Google account
When you set up your phone, you were prompted to add a Google account. If you skipped this, be sure to set one
up now so you can download apps from Play Store, get a customized information feed, and take full advantage of
the Calendar, Gmail, and other apps included with your account.
To add a Google account:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Touch Accounts > Add account.
3. Touch Google and follow the onscreen instructions to add an existing account or to create a new one.
4. Once the account is added, Calendar, Contacts, and other account features and apps are updated with
information from that account. You can review and change what syncs with your phone for that account.
Tip: Keep your apps up-to-date. To see if newer versions of the apps associated with your Google account are
available, open the Play Store app and touch > My apps & games.
