Yahoo Messenger Voice Answering Machine by alegator on 09-07-2005 at 08:17 PM
Yahoo claims that with the latest Yahoo Messenger you can leave a voice message to an offline contact, or even when that contact is online. I went thru all options in the menu but can't find the way to do it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

You're asking about Yahoo! Messenger in an MSN Messenger community?
Seriously though, I doubt many people would know. Your best bet is to find a YIM forum somewhere, or Google.

Voicemail. If you're offline or away from the computer, your friends can leave you voicemail. You'll see a star by the voicemail icon in your Messenger List. Click the voicemail icon, select the message, and press Play to hear your voicemail.

Zaher, I AM able to check voice messages in the answering machine from my contacts, but how do I leave a voice message in their answering machine???? That's the whole issue that I am unable to solve.

Well to leave a voice message for them, you should call them using yahoo messenger ! and they should be using the same latest version, and if they are not there, the messenger will ask u to leave a voice message.
so in ur main window, click on call , the Blue Phone on the top of your list,
a box will apear asking u to select whom ur calling , select it, then it will start ringing, after few rings, an auto responder will respond asking u to leave a message.
The easiest way to make a call is to roll your mouse over a name on your Messenger List. After that person's Contact Card pops up, click the phone icon. When your contact answers, talk away! if not leave a message.

Thanks Zaher, it seems I was impatient before and I hung up before the answering machine would answer the call. Everything seems to work fine now.
