How to change yahoo alerts mobile address?

Question

Alright, so I just figured out that cingular changed the email address for txt messaging. The old address was [e-mail]. The new address is [e-mail]. Yahoo alerts still attempts to use the old address. I tried setting up the new address, but same result. Anyone figured out a way to specify the address, as opposed to the canned addresses the yahoo mobile device setup forces?

Answer 1

Try going into your "My Account" from Yahoo.  Change your email address in there.  This is the email address Yahoo uses for alerts (it's selected when the alert is created according to their help files).

If that doesn't work, maybe if you delete the alert and set it up again, you'll be given the opportunity to put your new email address in the new alert.

Answer 2

you have to send a text to your e-mail acct. so that you can save it... then add it...
