I know this may come late, because this particular Yahoo service started somewhere between late 2003 and early 2004, but its only now that I’m starting to appreciate it. If you are always on the go and don’t want to miss a single message on your Yahoo Messenger (YM), then you must use Yahoo SMS Messenger. All you need is an SMS-capable phone and you’re good to go!

To login, type

in yahooid password

and send to 62580 (for SMART subscribers, Php 2/text), 2258 (for GLOBE subscribers, Php 2.50/text). If your sign in is successful, you will receive a message from Yahoo! with a list of your online friends with their corresponding number IDs.

To send a message:

to friendnumberid message

To reply, just reply the way you would normally reply to an SMS.

To add a friend:

add friendyahooid

To logout:

out

That’s it! While logged-in, your friends will see you as “Im on SMS”. So even when you’re away from the computer, you can still receive messages both from online friends and texting buddies!
