How can I sign in to my mobile device from my PC?

It's easy to manually sign onto your device. Here's how:

  1. Click the Yahoo! Messenger menu.
  2. Select "Sign into (device's number will appear here)."
  3. Click "OK.” This logs you out of Yahoo! Messenger on your computer and immediately logs you into Yahoo! Messenger on your device.
Please note: You need to have a strong signal and be within the coverage area to receive messages. If you are, but are still having problems sending or receiving messages, switch your phone off and back on (this will provide an updated "request" to the network).

Signing in and out of Call forwarding:

You sign into call forwarding when you select a phone number for forwarding your Yahoo! Messenger calls. Here's how:
  1. Click "Forward...” at the top of the Yahoo! Messenger window.
  2. Add a number next to "Forward incoming calls to.”
Until you turn it off, all Yahoo! Messenger phone calls will be forwarded to that number, whether you're signed into Yahoo! Messenger or not (your computer can even be off). To turn off call forwarding:
  1. Click "Forward..” at the top of the Yahoo! Messenger window.
  2. Next to "Forward your calls to,” click "Turn Call Forwarding Off.” This is also the place to turn it back on, whenever you'd like.
