If you have been supplied with an Android device from IT Support, please follow the below instructions; and any subsequent ones; to set it up for email access.

Play Store

Before you turn on the phone, you need to create a Google account using your MacIntyre email address.
Even if you already have a personal Google account, on the MacIntyre supplied device, you must create one using your MacIntyre email address.
The Google account is used for the Play Store, which is how you download apps; including the required apps for email access.

To create the account, follow the below FAQ:

Once you've created the account, proceed to the next step in these instructions.

Phone set-up

Once you have created the account, it's now time to set-up the phone.

As the phone will need updates and email set-up adding to it, for now don't put your SIM card in the phone. Updates and email set-up can be done without it, the phone just needs connecting to Wi-Fi; which it will prompt for during the set-up process.
