Back at the end of last summer RIM and Rogers Wireless made Yahoo! Messenger available to BlackBerry users on the Rogers Wireless network up in Canada. Today we are happy to announce that Yahoo! Messenger for BlackBerry is available on all carriers.
I haven’t heard any rumors but I wonder if AOL Instant Messenger and / or MSN Messenger will be coming out with free clients for the BlackBerry anytime soon? There seems to be a persistent battle for top dog IM Client. Google Talk for Blackberry and now Yahoo! Messenger have a bit of an advantage now that they have free clients for BlackBerry.
You can download Yahoo! Messener for BlackBerry directly from your device’s browser by visiting http://mobile.blackberry.com.

Hi. For the Blackberry Yahoo Messenger does it use GPRS? Since my carrier in HK only has limited Blackberry Data, but have unlimited GPRS usage..
I’m confused. The article says…”Today we are happy to announce that Yahoo! Messenger for BlackBerry is available on all carriers.” When I go to the website it states that Yahoo Messenger will not work for AT&T customers. What gives?
Is this possible with this actual yahoo messenger for black berry client to contact msn messenger client? Me I can send them instant message but I cannot receive anything from them. Are you?
Downloaed yahoo on my bb pearl and “I get service not enabled for this handheld “when I try to log on to yahoo. What is that
Yahoo! Messenger for Blackberry (2.0.38) can’t see when MSN Messenger users are online (they always appear to be offline) and can’t receive messages from them in my experience, but is able to send them messages. Maybe these extra functions will be added in a later version.
In my Blackberry Pearl I can not download Yahoo Messenger. I am getting the message, Service not enabled for this handheld.
What should I Do?
AT&T wants you to use text messaging instead of data that Yahoo! Messenger uses. Here are instructions on how to get it to work:

Latest version of Yahoo Messenger (2.0.43) sees a fix in the MSN bug and you can now view the online status of all MSN contacts, but whilst you can send messages out to them, their messages to you cannot be received.
I’m seeing the same issue. I can talk to someone with an MSN account, but can not receive there text back. Is this going to be fixed at all?

In my Blackberry Pearl I can not download Yahoo Messenger. I am getting the message, Service not enabled for this handheld.
If it says service not avail on most carriers it simply means you have to have the internet package on your blackberry. messenger uses that instead of texting on most carriers in the U.S. I am not sure if it does the same thing in other countries.
Messenger application icon does not show up after installation. The program shows in applications like its on the device but you can not access it. -Blackberry 7100i – nextel.
