Why do I get an error message saying "92466 Error Invalid Number..... re-send using a valid mobile number."?

Question

I've register my mobile device. Also program the number 92466 (Yahoo! Messenger) on mobile. Before when I send a text message to Y! Messenger, it works and allow me to be signed in. Now when I do this I get an error message saying it's an invalid number and to re-send using a valid 10-digit mobile number. Only time Y! Messenger appears to work is if I sign in to my mobile device when exit Messenger, then re-sign in to Messenger using my PC hours later. I perfer the option of signing into Y! Messenger when I need to and not when I exit Messenger from my PC.

Answer 1

It took me awhile to find someone with the exact same problem. I called Cingular, to check on mMode (Yahoo Messenger on mobile web still works), and there reply to the texting service was, "You must have the wrong shortcode."

Answer 2

I'm having the same problem. Except messenger wont work at all on my cell phone. It's really irritating me because that is how i talk to my boyfriend who is in Iraq while I'm at work.

Answer 3

I also am getting this message -- starting only two days ago after several months of using YIM with no problem.   Also a Cingular customer.  Hoping Cingular or Yahoo will correct soon as this is very inconvenient.  Have never seen a 10-digit mobile number to use instead of 92466 -- all Yahoo messenger instructions say to to use that code.
