New call history archive on Yahoo! Voice site
November 30, 2007 on 9:18 am | In Voice |
If you make PC-to-Phone calls on Yahoo! Messenger, you’ll love the two new features we’ve added to the Yahoo! Voice website.
A frequent request from our voice users is a complete call history. Good news! Now you can view your entire PC-to-Phone call history on the Yahoo! Voice website. Be sure you’re signed in, then click the “My Call History” link near the top of the page. You can view your calls by month in a list showing all calls, or in lists of just outgoing or incoming calls.
Each call history includes the date and time the call was made, phone number, location, duration of the call, price per minute and total charges. The call history automatically displays your fifty most recent calls; click the page numbers near the top to go further back in your history.

The call history on the Yahoo! Voice site only includes PC-to-Phone calls made through a Phone Out account. To view recent call history for your last three hundred calls, including free PC-to-PC calls, click on the “Contacts” menu in Yahoo! Messenger and select “Call History”.
We also made the auto-recharge option for your Phone Out account more customizable. In the past, the Auto-recharge amount would automatically default to the last amount for the Phone Out purchase that you made. But now you can specify either $10 or $25 as your auto-recharge option. Just visit the Yahoo! Voice site, be sure you’re signed in, then click on the “My Services” link near the top of the page.
Speaking of Yahoo! Voice, we have a 2nd birthday coming up!
In December 2005, we began offering premium voice services in the Windows version of our product. You can use Yahoo! Voice services to make free PC-to-PC calls to other Messenger contacts, or purchase a Phone Out account to call your friends’ mobile or regular phones from Messenger for as low as 1¢ a minute. We also offer
Phone In accounts, allowing you to purchase a phone number which you can use to receive calls right in Yahoo! Messenger. With the recent release of Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 Beta, call forwarding was also introduced, allowing you to forward incoming calls to your Yahoo! Messenger to another phone number, even if you’re signed out.

Well, I know this will be deleted, but we have no other way to comment.
Great new feature that is useless unless the program is functional. The bots have, once again, completely overrun the system. Rooms are full yet contain only one or two real people. Useless! Are you folks working on this or are you, again, going to simply ignore the problem and treat users as shabbily as you have in the past leaving us in the dark and with a useless chat engine.
Just wondered.

Is this some kinda joke? Call history was ALWAYS available! If you don’t have anything to write about then don’t write at all.

That’s awesome! Thanks for the news flash! EXCEPT, that this was ‘invented’ 700 days ago. Just a friendly reminder it’s 2007 not 2005 anymore.

Okay. about archives of messages..
I found them, but can’t read them unless I am online…silly
path is:
/User/*username*/Library/Application Support/Yahoo! Messenger/Logs/*profilename*/(folders for each converation sorted by buddy)
Okay.. how do I read them
vi can’t
these aren’t DAT files. - like windows version.
Console can’t read them -non standard log files.
what gives??

This is a very old feature I believe and it would be great if yahoo could come with an option where we can also delete the call history from this page. The user should have full right to decide whether to keep the history or not. It should not be forced on them. I really find this feature crap without the option for the user to decide he/she wants to store it or not.

I found my logs in a different location from Voung Pham, mine were buried in:
C:\Users\[windowsusername]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\[profilename]\Archive\Messages
Also, the APPDATA directory is hidden by default, so you need to “Show hidden files” in Explorer’s Tool’s->Options menu in order to view this.

Comment by kumar — June 23, 2008 #
hello…..
I would like to print the entire call history. How do I print it?
I really need your help because we help the output as soon possible.
Can you please give me the instruction right now.
I’m waiting your prompt reply.
Thank you very much.

Hi Elle,
There is no way to print out the entire call history with one click. You’ll have to print out each month individually and if there are multiple pages per month, each page will have to be printed separately.
Go to http://voice.yahoo.com/calls.php to get started.
Thanks,
Sarah Bacon
