How to change my mobile number in yahoo messenger.... because i cant change it.... thank u in advance....;

Log Into My Ymail Account

"Ymail," a division of Yahoo!, is not the same as the Yahoo! email service.
The main different revolves around the URL at the end of your email address.

Instead of "@yahoo.com" these addresses are written as "@ymail.com."
This slight variation might confuse you about how to log into your Ymail account.

The login instructions are similar to that of Yahoo! mail. Additionally, you can recover your ID or password if you have forgotten it.

Visit the Yahoo! login page by typing "ymail.com" into the URL bar.
This takes you to both the Yahoo! email sign in and the Ymail sign in.

Type your username into the "Yahoo! ID" box.
This is the part of your email address that comes before "@ymail.com."

Type in your password.
If your password doesn't work, or you don't remember it, choose the blue "I Can't Access My Account" from the bottom of the sign in box.

Choose the option that describes your situation best. Options include: "I Forgot My Password", "My Password Doesn't Work", "I Forgot My Yahoo! ID" and "My Account May Have Been Compromised". Press "Next."

Follow the on-screen directions to set a new password or recover your ID.

Change a Yahoo Mobile Number

When you log out of your Yahoo Messenger account, messages and alerts automatically go to your mobile phone number if it is associated with your account.

You can change your Yahoo Mobile phone number if you have a new number or want to switch to a different device.

New messages and alerts will be sent to the new number you designate after the change. Changes you make to the number take effect immediately.

Click the "Start" button on your computer and hover over "All Programs."
Click "Yahoo Messenger" to open the program.


Log into your Yahoo account with your ID and password.
Click "Messenger" in the top menu and then click "Preferences."


Click "Edit Mobile Phone" to view the mobile settings for your Yahoo account.
Click "Delete" next to "Messenger Phone" and select "Remove Alerts for This Device."

Click "Delete Device" and the phone number will be removed from your Yahoo Mobile account.
Click "Add Alerts Device" and advance to the next step.


Enter your 10-digit mobile phone number in the indicated field. Select your mobile service provider from the drop-down list and continue to the next step.

A text message with a confirmation code will be sent to your mobile phone. Enter the confirmation code from the text message in the field indicated on Yahoo.

Click "Confirm" to add the new number to your Yahoo Mobile account.

Click on "Messenger" in the top left hand corner of the Messenger Toolbar.
Click on "Preferences".
Click on "General".
Click on "Edit Mobile Phone" at the bottom.
In the "Other Mobile Devices" section, click the trash can Icon which is under "Delete". (There should only be one entry to delete.) The "Delete this Device" window opens.
Select "Remove alerts for this device" from the "Delete this Device" window.
Click "Delete Device" to confirm.
When this is done, add your new Mobile as follows:
Click on the little mobile phone icon under the Custom Status message box.
Click on "Set up Mobile Phone".
A new window will open up to enter the details of your new mobile phone. Enter the telephone number of your mobile device in the "Number" box and click on "Continue". You will receive a text message with a confirmation code on your mobile device. The "Get Yahoo! Messenger on Your Mobile Phone window" changes and it asks you for the confirmation code you just received on your mobile device.
Enter the 4-digit confirmation code in the "Enter code" box and click to select the check box option for "Automatically sign me into my mobile phone when I log out of Yahoo! Messenger on my PC". Click "Next". (The Get Yahoo! Messenger on Your Mobile Phone window changes to tell you that you've successfully registered your mobile device.) Click on "Done".

Sometimes the Linux OS has a fit and wont log into any of the messengers because of an internal error, Most likely is that yahoo messenger has updated and is no longer compatible with the Linux OS. Keep trying or use a different messenger, it may just be a compatibility issue with linux

1. Sign in to the Yahoo Messenger.

2. On the Menu bar(found at the top of the window), click Messenger, then Preferences. (You can also use Ctrl+Shift+P for shortcut).

3. In the General Category, you will find the button "Edit Mobile Device". Just click it then a new window should appear in your screen for editing your Mobile number.

4. Edit your Mobile number. Done.


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, the Yahoo Messenger 9 doesn't let you change the contact details.

Use the following link, and if you edit your address book in your yahoo mail account, the yahoo messenger takes over the nickname from the address book in the e-Mail account...
http://address.yahoo.com/

I hope this solves the problem
