when trying to call a person I am getting this message:\nYou cannot place a call because Messenger is not currently connected to the voice service. This is either because you are behind a restrictive firewall or because we are fixing a problem with the voice service.\nIs there no way by which I can make free pc to pc calls? Pleeez help. mention the way(if any) in detail. Thanx in advance.

You must have microphone & speaker connected to your computer and set in Yahoo Messenger. Yahoo Messenger will tell you whether it is connected while you setting it up.

I suggest trying some thing to loacte the problem\n\n1. Try to connect a different person in different area\n2. Try with a any other microphone.\n3. Try some  other messenger.\n4. Relace the The computer\n\nWith these results u ll know where the problem is. If it keeps failing in all the above cases. Forget it, throw off every thing and go to sleep.

Yahoo messenger is free. There is no way to activate messenger.

You have come to the wrong place. Please contact Yahoo! Support for technical issues relating to Yahoo! Messenger. In the page where Microsoft tells you about contacting Yahoo!, there must be a link that will actually take you to a page where you can contact Yahoo!. Here is the link to Yahoo! Help:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/\n\nYou can also try reposting this question in Yahoo! Answers, BUT in step 3, choose the category as "Yahoo! Products" (the last entry in the first list). In the next list, choose the appropriate sub-category.\n\nHope it helps! (no pun intended :P)\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

I used to have problems with the older versions of msn messenger but i got the 7.5 version and its quite good. It can be sometimes a problem if you have quite a problems loaded up plus your internet/broadband speed will have an effect. Hope you sort it out soon i know how frustrating it can be! I would download a new version and reboot x

you would probably have to remove the messenger program from the add/remove program and try going into the chat line again!

It is Yahoo! messenger - which includes free PC to PC calling along with BT communicator, which allows for charged PC to phone or phone to phone (via PC) calling.\n\nObviously it also has all the stuff that you'd expect in Yahoo! Messenger too\n\nMajor benefits are the cheap calls offered by BT communicator - esp the overseas rates at the moment

To place an Internet Call: \n\n\nClick the Contacts menu in Messenger and select Place an Internet Call. \n\nDial the number that you wish to call. \nTo place a domestic call (within the 48 continental United States): \n\nDial the local number with area code for the number you wish to call (dialing 1 before the number is optional). Once you've entered the number, press the Call button. Enter your Yahoo! password and click the OK button. \n\nTo place an international call: \n\nYou first need to dial 011 for international numbers, then the international country code, and then the local number with area code. (e.g., Australia [Country Code 61] = 011-61-1-2345-6789) Once you've entered the number, press the Call button. Enter your Yahoo! password and click the OK button. \n\n\nA billing alert message will pop up on your screen, telling you how much the call costs and how many minutes you have remaining on your Yahoo! Phone Card. (If you don't have a Yahoo! Phone Card, you will need to purchase one.) \n\nClick the Place Call button. \n\nWhen you're done talking, press the Hang Up button. \nPlease Note: Please be sure that your microphone and speakers are set up properly before you try to make a call. If you can hear sounds and record your voice in other programs, you're all set. If not, consult your sound card documentation\n\nAlso check this out:\nhttp://www.netphone2.com/docs/instruction.htm\nhttp://digg.com/software/FREE,_PC_to_Phone_call..._

Check your connection. Messenger should have a link in the bottom that checks what's wrong. Check the proxy in your msn, if you have a firewall it might have started to block it or just block the proxy and doesn't let you connect.good luck
