So I have to redial it if the time is longer 30 minutes. I would like to set my call longer than 30 minutes. Would you please let me know if it can support and how to do it? Thank you. With Best Regards, Dominic Hi Dear Sir / Madam,

Thanks for setting them straight. :) That 800-899-9619 was set up for a movie promotion (The Messengers). The movie is long gone out of theaters so they probably disabled the phone line.

I got a “the number you dialed cannot be reached from your calling area” message. The YM CS staff I chatted with said that Yahoo Voice does not support tollfree numbers. Isn’t that interesting when you (Sarah) had written this January about calling tollfree numbers with YM? I told the YM CS staff that that isn’t true because I’ve been calling various tollfree numbers before. I now realize that YM doesn’t work with all tollfree numbers. To re-prove to myself and demonstrate to YM CS staff that YM is capable of calling tollfree numbers, I dialed 1-866-246-7262 and 1-888-723-8881. Both calls were successful (i.e., got connected to the company I’m calling). I’m using Yahoo US version 8.1.0.401. Out of curiosity, I dialed the two numbers you mentioned in your article: 1-800-899-9619 – Not successful. I got this message “This isn’t valid. Please check your listing and try your call again.” 1-800-555-8355 – Went through! So, this further supports my observation that YM works with some tollfree numbers but not with others. I have a list of other tollfree numbers that doesn’t work with YM. Could you, Sarah, explain why there are tollfree numbers that can be dialed from YM and other tollfree numbers that can’t?

Click on that menu and choose "Change Search Defaults...". I think changing settings in there will help clear up your problem. Sarah Bacon Hi Brian,
