Call can't be done from Yahoo

[shibu]

i am using yahoo 8.0 for pc to phone call .i could able to call 2 days back now when i try to call i get a message "You cannot place a call because Messenger is not currently connected to the voice service. This is either because you are behind a restrictive firewall or because we are fixing a problem with the voice service." but i have not changed any network properties i am using this from uae.. I don't know what happened to my yahoo Can u please advise me

regards shibu kc

Since it says it's your firewall that is restricting it, have you tried turning off your firewall for a few minutes while you make a call to see if that's the cause?

If it works when you do this simply configure your firewall to allow you to make calls on yahoo.

I know you may not have done anything to your network but your firewall may automatically update itself to protect from problems and could have closed a yahoo connection somewhere.

I may be wrong but let us know if it helps!

Edit: Also i noticed you said they could be fixing the voice service, so my question is: Are you still experiencing this problem? Or was it a problem on Yahoo's end because they were fixing it?

I`m expirance the same problem : "You cannot place a call because Messenger is not currently connected to the voice service. This is either because you are behind a restrictive firewall or because we are fixing a problem with the voice service." My mess do like this for over 3 weeks. I talk with my friends , on the same netwok and they don`t have any problem with mess. I`m not using any fierwall or proxy...i turn off any protection i had , but nothing..the same problem. And anything i try to send on mess either sending very very slow( in the same network , on the same LAN ) and in many cases it stops ! Please Help Me! thx
