Yahoo is a diverse web services company providing various tools and platforms such as Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Finance, Sports, Search, and more. Many of these services are free, but Yahoo also offers Yahoo Plus Support—a paid subscription that gives access to 24/7 live support via phone or chat. This is often the only way to reach a live agent directly.

1. Avoid Scams

Be cautious: there are many fraudulent phone numbers and sites masquerading as Yahoo support.

Do not trust any support number found via search engines unless it ends in "yahoo.com" and appears on Yahoo’s official help sites.
