connection probems

[schlinky101]

I recently got my first android phone - LG Intouch Max - and i'm having problems connecting to google so i can download applications. Whenever i try to link my google account to my phone it sais there could be a temporary problem or my sim card may not be provisioned for data. My internet and wi-fi works fine but as soon as i try to link my account it just won't work. Can anybody help or tell me if perhaps there is a setting i need to activate or change
