We know it’s important for you to stay connected with friends and family no matter where they are in the world. At times, the person you are connecting with may not necessarily be familiar with instant messaging services, that’s why Yahoo! Messenger allows you to make both local and international calls to their landlines or mobile phones at affordable rates.
We’d like to invite you to participate in a quick poll so that we can better understand how regularly you are using the feature:

Yes, we have added Mobile Web Messenger to the list! In the last couple of months, we have enabled Facebook Chat integration in SMS Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger App for Android, and now, Mobile Web Messenger! Our goal is to make it easy for you to send and receive messages from your Facebook friends while you’re on the go, no matter which mobile device you’re using.
The chat experience will be similar to what you are used to except that now you will be able to initiate conversations with your Facebook friends as well. For those who prefer to show your online presence only to your Yahoo! contacts, you can choose to sign out of Facebook Chat – You are in control of your experience!
To set up, simply login to Mobile Web Messenger (http://m.yahoo.com/messenger) and click on the Facebook notification banner to link your Facebook & Yahoo! accounts. Upon successful authentication, you will be able to see your online Facebook friends in a separate tab. Click on any one of your Facebook friends and start chatting away!
Enjoy the Facebook Chat experience on your mobile device and let us know what you think!
