What is Yahoo Mobile?

Question

What is Yahoo Mobile?

Answer 1

Yahoo! Mobile is a service you can access through the browser on any mobile device. It offers mobile device versions of a number of standard services:

Yahoo! Search with Yahoo! Local

Yahoo! Mail

Yahoo! Messenger

Flickr

Yahoo! News

Yahoo! Sports

Yahoo! Finance

Yahoo! Entertainment

Yahoo! Movies

Yahoo! Weather

Yahoo! Driving Directions

Yahoo! Address Book

Yahoo! Calendar

Familiarizing yourself with these services on a PC is the best introduction to using them on a mobile device. The services essentially work the same way. The presentation is simplified for the device.

For other services, refer to the WAP directory for sites that you can access on your WAP-enabled phone.

In addition, depending on your carrier and the device you bought, you can configure your mobile devices for alerts as well as download music, images, and files. You can get Yahoo! alerts on many kinds of mobile devices: pager, cell phone, or PDA.

Your carrier can provide versions of Yahoo! Mail, Yahoo! Messenger, games, and more to on your Palm, Windows CE, Pocket PC, or Symbian-compatible organizer, depending on the devices and applications they support.
