How i chat with friends ?

• Answer:

  To use Yahoo Messenger you first need to download it. Here is the link to Yahoo Messenger 10: http://messenger.yahoo.com/ The above version includes Chat Rooms should you wish to use them. However, to use Yahoo Chat Rooms, you need to be aged 18 or over. This is for the protection of minors. Once downloaded, this is how you can add your contacts and friends:~ Click on "Contacts" in the top of the "Messenger" window pane. Click on "Add a Contact". You will then see two options. Either you can add somebody from their Messenger ID or email address or you can choose a contact from your address book. For each contact you add, click on "Next" to take you through the process. An invitation will then be sent to each one you have added. Their names will appear on your Messenger List with a message "Add Request Pending". This message will disappear when the invitation is accepted. TO IM SOMEONE: You right click on the contact that you want to IM and then click on " Instant Message". Another box will open up for you to type your message in. When you have finished typing your message, hit the "Send" button on the right of the box you are typing in. If the person is showing as "online", he will get the message straight away. If the person if "offline", he will receive the message as soon as he signs into Yahoo Messenger. MAIL CHAT To use Mail chat, you need to sign yourself in on your email page. Next to your username, you will see a status which may be set to "Offline" at the moment. Click on it and change your status to "Available". WEBMESSENGER There is also Yahoo Messenger for the Web but the features are more limited than the full version of Yahoo Messenger.
