Yahoo Messenger (Y!M) issues

Yahoo Messenger (Y!M) issues such as not being able to login, connection errors and not being able to chat, as well as not being able to send or receive messages do happen. The instant messaging service is wonderful when running smoothly, and because it is totally free it makes it a client well worth having.

When you download Yahoo Messenger being it for Microsoft Windows, iOS, Android, Mac OS X or Symbian you will need to use your generic “Yahoo ID” and sometimes login errors can occur, they have happened in the past and they will no doubt happen in the future and this is where Yahoo Messenger problems with connection comes into play impacting millions of users.

It was only last year in January Yahoo decided to add voice calls and video calling on iOS and Android. In the past when people have tried accessing Yahoo Messenger online they have been prompted with error codes such as code 100, 40402, 401 and many more.

    Does Yahoo actually know when its own service goes down or not working? Yahoo Messenger seems to be a little erratic at the moment, one minute it is up and running and the next it crashes.
