"couldn't sign in, there was a problem communicating with google services

T-Mobile
Samsung Mega
Android 4.4.2

I bought a new Samsung Mega phone (Droid version 4.4.2) and EVERYTHING WORKS INCLUDING my g-mail account when I sign in from the internet HOWEVR ... I get the message "couldn't sign in, there was a problem communicating with google services - try again later" when any of my apps I try to install (apparently) go thru the play store. (in other words, ... I can't install anything without it asking me to log into my gmail account and then the message is displayed.) I went to a couple forums and turned off "2 step verification" from my account and have checked that my "google play" has been enabled. I need my apps!!! HELP HELP
