I've got a new tablet and setting it up is driving me mad. I've managed to transfer a lot of info from my old tablet but trying to reinstall Yahoo is a nightmare.
I need a verification code and the window is three minutes. Despite many attempts the code has not come through either to my mobile or Google account.

I thought Yahoo had been bought out, I haven’t used it for years. What do you use it for?

Yahoo Mail Blossoming haven't got the energy to change everything. I have a separate Google account for my volunteer job.

Yahoo may have been bought out but it is still going strong and I use it for all my email. I originally started using it because it was compatible with whatever phone I had at the time.
Soda pop - can you contact yahoo for help?

Ok, I was asking because I think you may find it through another path. I’ll ask around, I seem to remember reading something in tech news.

Sorry, only contact number I have is in Canada. I expect you’ve already gone through the usual steps, but here they are just in case.
