Inadvertently removed my google account. Can't add it back.

Samsung Galaxy S3, Android 4.4. I removed the google account then wanted to add it back. I went to accounts, selected the google account, selected login with existing account. Entered the correct login and pw (tested login and pw on my desktop to verify it). I hit ok on terms/conditions and it takes me to a screen "Couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with the Google Servers. Try again later." I've been trying this for 3 days. Tried going through the app store and gmail and maps. They all take me to the same account login screen and end up with the same error.
As a 2nd test I tried to create a new account. Tried multiple names including several 12 random character names and each time it just said the name wasn't available.

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forums. Have you tried rebooting the device and trying again?

I am honestly not sure what to suggest. Sorry.
