I attempted to make a PC to phone call using Yahoo messenger 7.5. The phone rings, but voice doesnt go through

Considering you haven't used the PC to PC calls, either, I suggest you go thru' Y! Msger Wizard to help you with the voice setup.\n\n1stly, make sure your headset connections are in the correct input.\n\n2ndly, click on the 'Actions' tab, look for 'Call setup'. Follow the 3 easy instructions to see if your mic & earphones are working properly.\n\nIn case it tells you that the mic and/or earphones is/are not detected, change your input connections. Simply reverse them (black into red & red into black or whatever colours your plugs are coded with) & try again to see if it works.\n\nBeyond this, I guess you'd need your friendly neighbour's help in person.\n\n:o)

Make sure you have Yahoo messanger with Voice installed.

go to yahoo help, it happends in the new 7.5, you have to set your firewall up, it gives you the settings to do it, then it will work, I got aggravated and went back to 7.0 and it works fine now

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

First, uninstall the verion you have by going to control panel then add/remove programs. Then go to http://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm and download version 7.0 It should work then.\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work. Get that here\nhttp://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp

It is not your computer, Yahoo put out a non-functional beta version of messenger for some reason. Uninstall it. Get version 7.0 or older (which actually works) from here\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nAlso, make sure you have the latest version of Java, which is needed for some Yahoo things to work.

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

I would remove the messanger and try re-installing it.\nyou could have an older version of the  messanger on your pc if that does not work contact isp or the messanger support team as they might have to take you in to the system regedit to remove then re install

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..._

The new messenger does not really work very well. Uninstall it and get version 7.0 here to confirm:\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm

you can call someone else's PC through the new Yahoo Messenger with Voice.. there's a call button there.. and by clicking it, you can contact the person you're chatting with..

Not if your calling from computer to computer. You can talk to someone as long as they have speakers and a mic. Yahoo's computer to phone rate aren't bad either.

If all else fails, try removing it and download messenger again, I had that happen to me once, couldn't get it to work so I did that and it solved my problem..Good Luck
