You can choose to receive alerts via email, Yahoo! Messenger, or mobile device. You can select your preferred delivery options when you create an alert. Click the box or radio button next to the delivery options you wish to select or choose the delivery options from the pull-down menu.
For certain alerts, you can choose the email address you wish to use for the alert you are creating, add an email address, download Yahoo! Messenger, or add a mobile device. For some alerts you can also choose the frequency with which you wish to receive your alert or the time of day you wish to receive the alert.
When you have created an alert, you can click the "My Alerts" tab to see which delivery options you have selected for each alert. You can also change your delivery options by clicking the pencil icon to the right of the alert for which you wish to change the delivery method under the "My Alerts" tab.
