To use Yahoo! Mail on your mobile phone, you need:

  • A valid Yahoo! ID
  • An Internet-enabled phone
  • Mobile web access

Yahoo! ID

If you don't have a Yahoo! ID—for example, micawber2009—click the Sign Up link which is either at the top of a help page or at any of the login pages. Fill in the registration forms, and you'll have your ID.

Internet-enabled phone

Many if not most phone browsers available today are ready to use Yahoo! Mail. In addition, the iPhone and the Blackberry Smartphone have special access steps. Click this link for iPhone. Click this link for Blackberry. Unfortunately, we can't provide details for each and every type of phone. Please consult your phone's manual for more details.

Mobile web access

Many if not most phone plans available today include web access. Yahoo! does not have this information, so you will have to consult your wireless carrier company to find out for sure. Check the phone's manual, your receipt, or the agreement contract for details about your wireless carrier company.


To access Yahoo! Mail on your mobile phone, visit http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail on a PC and follow the instructions to get started. Using your mobile phone's web browser, you can type in http://m.yahoo.com, and then click the Mail link to access Yahoo! Mail.

Yahoo! Go 3.0 also features Yahoo! Mail. For more information, click this link.

Special note for phones with email applications

Some of the more powerful phones have their own mail applications. Click this link for information about accessing your Yahoo! Mail through one of these email client applications.
