Yahoo! Contact Us Product Selection Page

Video of the Day

The Yahoo! Contact Us Page at https://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?page=home&locale=en_US offers customer service help for all the Yahoo! products. Available help categories include: Account, Answers, Aviate, Finance, Flickr, Games, Groups, Mail, Messenger, Mobile, Postmaster, Search, Sports, and Wallet. Some of the Yahoo! products, such as email, require the completion of a form to gain support. If you are having issues with your account that require personalized customer service attention, this may be the best gateway to use. However, this page can be challenging to use if you are trying to get phone or direct email contact with Yahoo! Customer Service. The graphical interface may try to route you to help pages that don't allow for direct contact. When using free Yahoo! products, you may need to attempt contact through both this page and other avenues.

Yahoo! Customer Care on Twitter

The Yahoo! Customer Care account on Twitter, https://twitter.com/yahoocare, can be accessed through Direct Messaging. This may be a good option if you have not been able to resolve your Yahoo! issue in another way, and it can be a good backup measure. For example, if you have already contacted Yahoo! via the Yahoo! Contact Us Product Selection Page and are currently waiting for a response, you may want to Direct Message them on Twitter as well.
