If I use Yahoo Messenger to SMS to a mobile device. How would Verizon Wireless bill the recipient, if they have unlimited text but no data plan? Would the text be part of the text package or the data plan? How much would a 130 stroke text cost? OR does Verizon treat the message as email or text?

Hi evelyn,

You need to change your Messenger settings so that it requires a password each time someone wants to sign in. Since it sounds like you’re sharing a computer with other people, you need to make sure you sign out every time you’re finished using Messenger. Please follow the instructions on this page to ensure that your log in information is not stored at sign-on:

Hope that helps,

It doesn’t take much to become a Yahoo! Messenger expert. Once you play with it, and research some, you learn a lot which benefits others.:)

I like all the new features that are coming into Yahoo! Messenger. But it seems as if you’re only concentrating on the IM Environment as opposed to the Chat Environment.

The problem with Bots hasn’t been solved. They’re again in rooms as they were before. The only thing captcha did in the long run was a create yet another tiny annoyance for Yahoo! Messenger Users.

I agree with frndsfrvr. I wouldn’t use the beta version. Download the 8.1 version if you really must have Yahoo messenger. It’s not great, but it doesn’t have quite as many problems as the beta version.
