4. Ryan you have a good point, I never saw it that way. But I have to disagree with Microsoft buying Yahoo. That’d just make MS stronger and richer. $44.6 Billion is a great investment because in a few years they will double or triple their profits from Yahoo. Plus Windows Live Messenger is crappier than Yahoo Messenger. The emoticons are bad.

   But right now I completely hate the 9.0 version. I prefer the 8.0 on my XP and Vista but hopefully I’ll stick to the Vista version of Yahoo Messenger once it’s out of Beta for my Vista machine.

   Personal note, keep up the great job on Yahoo Messenger for Vista. As for Yahoo Messenger 9.0, make it more user friendly. It needs the 8.0 feel with the 9.0 look.

8. I have used yahoo voice and it started off good, then suddenly it got sick and now I can hear the other party clearly but the other party cant hear me clearly. But what i want to know is if its yahoo or ISP doing that, but I think its the yahoo quality, its poor.

12. Yahoo! Voice Out doesn’t work for international long distance it seems. They claim it does, but until they get their stuff sorted out, I want my money back! My network and ISP are working great…this wouldn’t be the first problem I’ve had with YM in the past two years.

13. Just signed up for Yahoo messenger solely to get Yahoo voice out. Keeps asking me to buy $10. which I’ve already done. Can’t make any calls: “The Yahoo! Voice service could not make the call right now. Please try again a bit later.” Passed the microphone and speaker tests, however.

    This sucks.

14. I have been trying out forever to call a vietnam number on yahoo voice out and im always getting this message “We’re very sorry. The Yahoo! Voice service could not make this call right now. Please try again a little bit later” I had tried “a longer bit later” and its still not working.. please tell me why is that so? Currently in mexico.

15. This service is too bad. I got the same error. “We’re very sorry. The Yahoo! Voice service could not make this call right now. Please try again a little bit later”. Please let me know how to stop using this service and get my money back, thank you.

16. I am not alone….what changed? everything was fine and bamm I cannot call to China anymore…I get the we;re sorry message too….obviously Yahoo is aware of the problem,…Time to check other avenues

17. I had not had to contact Yahoo! about my voice service before Jajah, but now that I have had to, its a painful experience. First you queue for typically 30-60 minutes waiting for a chat agent. Then half the time the system bombs out and tells you no agents are available. Then when you get someone, they are not able to resolve the issue. To give you an idea, Yahoo! “de-activated” my voice out service (with $6 still on my account) claiming some security reason, and refuse to re-activate even after I answered dozens of questions about credit card numbers, last payment date etc… Two weeks later, after multiple chat sessions, messages etc, still no movement. My advice is, use Skype – might cost a cent more but you’ll avoid a ton of hassle.

18. I can’t make PC to PC call in YM 9.0. It worked once then it stopped. Now when I click the call button I get “connectig to voicemail..” right away. No ringing sound at all. I used the hardware setup function and everything (mic/speakers) checked out OK. Please help. I email YM service and told me to run the audio hardware setup which I did. Since then no emails back from them. A bit disapointed with the service.

20. Obvisouly Yahoo doesnt give a damn about their customers. I should have gone with skype.

21. …will work only once in a while then stop they don’t really want people using it all the time.. I cannot get my $19.00 back

    Comment by James — February 4, 2009 #

22. This is a shame from Yahoo Jajah. they don;t want people to use their service, and they don’t want to give the money back. i have only a refund of $25 instead of $35.

25. Everyone has this problem, same here. “We’re very sorry. The Yahoo! Voice service could not make this call right now. Please try again a little bit later”. I think Google Talk would be better

26. I’m irritated as heck about this – try this out for size. Looks like Yahoo has prohibited more than one call per account per login – SO – If you need to make multiple calls. Log on, call then log off and quit messenger. Then log on again and you should be able to make another call. Let me know how this works. I know it’s not a great solution, but at least it lets us get our money’s worth.

27. dude, my yahoo!voice thingy keeps taking 10 USD out of my credit card, whenever it almost runs out of money. they may have a cute lil yellow guy when ym starts, but that doesnt break it. i want to know how to stop the 10 USD take-away funtion as soon as possible. please, if they know the sollution, please do so help.

28. @a_person,

    Here’s how to disable the auto-charge setting on your Yahoo! Voice account:

    (1). Go to http://voice.yahoo.com and Sign In

    (2). Click on the My Services tab

    (3). Under the “Auto Recharge “ text, select the “Off” radio button. This will disable Auto Recharge.

29. well, ive tried that, and whenever i click the ”off” button, it automatically changes back to 10$. this is really pissing me off. i want to use a reliable service, which is not what you have been showing me. please show me a better resolution. thank-you

    Comment by a_person — March 24, 2009 #

30. I am also experiencing this problem – I have unchecked the auto recharge box but it won’t save changes and changes back.

31. Yahoo voice started off excellent and now people I call say my voice sounds choppy, which I confirmed by calling a cell phone and talking to myself. Also, I get this message 9 out of 10 times “We’re very sorry. The Yahoo! Voice service could not make this call right now. Please try again a little bit later.” which is EXTREMELY frustrating. Any chance this is going to be fixed soon?

    To change your billing information, please:

    Go to: billing.yahoo.com. You’ll be asked to sign-in again to confirm your identity for this password-protected page. When it opens, click Update in the “Payment Method” column beneath the card number you’d like to change.

    When you’re done updating information, click Continue to save your changes.

    Note: Any changes you make to your credit card information will automatically be applied to all your future payments for all your Yahoo! Premium Services.

    If you’re still having problems, please contact customer care for more assistance.

38. am not able to make pc to pc call to a friend but can do so to others.whenever she comes online the symbol of phone disappears.when she goes offline it reappears.when am clickig call pc under action when she is online it says here that the version of yahoo messenger she is using does not support this featuer.does that mean she is using older version? if yes then why am i able to make the call when she is offline? please help..

    Comment by JJ — July 30, 2009 #

39. @JJ – It sounds like your friend is coming online with a version that does not support voice calls. So if she is using Yahoo! Messenger in Mail for example or Yahoo! Messenger for the Web, you would not be able to call her when she’s online. When she’s offline, you’re able to then call and leave her a voicemail. Hope that helps,
