India and some other countries users might be wondering where has the Yahoo Call button disappeared. Well in some countries government has restricted usage of VOIP and to secure itself, Yahoo has taken measures to disable PC-to-PC calls in these region by disabling calling features in local version of Yahoo Messenger.

However this limitation can be easily by-passed using a simple hack, well it cannot be called a hack even. All you have to do is un-install the current Local Version of Yahoo Messenger from your system and download the US version of Yahoo! Messenger. When you visit the Yahoo Messenger’s site, it automatically selects the local version to your country by scanning your IP address.

To bypass it you have to directly download the US version from Yahoo Server. We have provided the Direct Download link below. The step-by-step instructions for windows users are as follows:

  1. Goto Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
  2. Select the Yahoo Messenger from the list.
  3. Click on Un-Install button.
  4. Goto My Computer -> C: (or the drive in which windows is installed) - >Program Files.
  5. Delete the Yahoo Folder if it still exist.
  6. Now download the US version by the links provided below.
  7. Install the downloaded file.
  8. Run the newly installed Yahoo Messenger.
  9. If you are still unable to see the Voice option, you must restart the system and then login again.
  10. Enjoy.

Please Note: Un-installing Yahoo! Messenger will delete all your chat history. Also the local rooms and audibles of your country won’t be accessible in the US Version.

If it still not works for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, you may also have to delete the following paths before installing the US version.

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local\Yahoo

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\LocalLow\Yahoo

C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\Yahoo
