Dialing Landline Phones with Yahoo Messenger Phone Out

 

If you have Yahoo Messenger Phone Out credit, you can dial any regular phone number (Phone Out) from the keypad using this format:

 

Country code + area code + phone number +

For example, a phone number in the United States would be dialed:

1 310 555 1212 then

 

1	Country Code
310	Area Code
555 1212	Phone Number
	Sends the phone number to Yahoo Messenger and places the call

 

 

Phone Out lets you choose your default Country code. If you choose USA, for example, you would not need to dial the counrty code when dialing a domestic call. For example:

 

310 555 1212 then

 

Speed-Dial a Yahoo Messenger Contact

 

You can dial any of your Yahoo Messenger Contacts directly from the phone's keypad using a speed-dial key sequence.

 

First, in Yahoo Messenger you need to rename the Contact's nickname so that it begins with a two digit number.

• Right click on the Contact and choose "Contact details".
• Assign or Rename "Nickname" to begin with a two digit number. For example, Contact "Nastassia" is renamed "12 Nastassia".
• Click Save & Close Contact Details window.

Likewise, change any other Contacts' names to begin with unique two digit numbers.

 

Then when you want to call a Yahoo Messenger Contact from your phone's keypad, just dial the two digit number you have assigned to that Contact, and press to place the call.

 

For example to call "12 Nastassia", dial:

 

12

(press twice to place call)
