Yahoo phone number

I’ve not been able to access my email account for the past two days. Is there a Yahoo phone number to which I can call and get assistance? I’m sure the password is correct as I have used it for years.

I’m aware of three Yahoo phone numbers. However, please note the following:

• It’s kind of difficult for the staff at Yahoo! to provide personalised assistance simply because there have hundreds of millions of subscribers.
• Yahoo Plus (paid) users may get priority over free subscribers (the majority).
• It’s not Yahoo’s fault if you forget the email password. Retrieve or reset it by providing other details such as the secret answers to the security questions.
• If you’ve forgotten the secret answers, don’t blame Yahoo!
• When you are sure that the password and secret answers are correct, your account may have been hacked or you could have been a victim of a phishing attack. In the latter case, you, once again, cannot accuse Yahoo!
• If the Yahoo email is through your ISP, BT for example, it’s better to contact the Internet service provider.

Yahoo knows that many of its subscribers are relatively new to the world of Internet. It also understands that people can forget important details or can be conned by phishers. The company has set up a gamut of easy-to-use support pages especially for such users. Check out the Yahoo support pages.
