| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 24279842 Canada11/23/2012 09:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a "pay'n'talk" (prepaid) plan. I just loaded it a few days ago and I still should have about $10 on it. I've had the service for about 4 years, and I've never had this problem before. Usually I can at least access my own account to see what my usage balance is, but I can't even do that. And what's with the search engine stuff??? My internet service is with Bell, not Telus. Very strange indeed. Anyone else try googling those "call failed please try again" under the "Past Hour" time frame search option? Would be nice if someone did that and let me know if the "Email check" thing comes up on every entry. Thanks in advance!  |

Please, someone -- use the 'Past Hour' search parameter option on google and see what comes up when you type in the phrase: "call failed please try again". |

Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email." IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING THIS ON THEIR SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS FOR GOOGLE IN THE "PAST HOUR" TIME FRAME SEARCH PARAMETER? |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 24279842 Canada11/23/2012 09:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I tried to send an email yesterday on my home computer and kept getting that same exact message~ EMAIL CHECK FAILED, PLEASE TRY AGAIN~ We reset our connection and tried it again and the same messages kept popping up. I have been having issues with my email at work for the past week as well. Not sure, but I think OP is right~ something is fishy. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25004536 Thank you thank you thank you thank you! As they say, misery loves company. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this, but I'm sorry to hear about your email troubles. Yahoo locked me out of one of my email accounts on Wednesday for about 10 hours for what they called "scheduled maintenance", although I had not received any prior warning that it would occur. Otherwise, I appear to be able to send emails on my other Yahoo accounts as well as my gmail account. Or at least for the time being....  |

Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. It appears on every single hit, in the 'past hour' search parameter. Anyway, obviously it's not widespread so the doom is for the select few only. Lucky us. Phone is still not letting me make or receive calls, and my email results page is giving me whacko phrases. Just another day in the New World Order. |

| luckyophelia User ID: 18046556 United States11/23/2012 10:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the past two days, I've been locked out of an email account for nearly half a day (never happened before in the 13 years I've been using Yahoo mail), locked out of my cell phone for at least three hours (never happened before in the four years I've had it), and experienced twilight-zone search engine results. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24279842 Co-inky-dink, or something else?..... maybe its just your phone? i can never access any of my stuff its always crashing and asking me to report the crash as if that does anything at all in the first place then the report will crash. GPS messes up a lot too but I'm not the only one who's had their GPS act screwy on their phones its been just about everyone, it gets frustrating. The other day I went to the grocery store with my bf and there were BIRDS EVERYWHERE. straight out of alfred hitchcock it was ridiculous and felt really surreal and scary. They all looked like they didn't know where they were going. checked my compass i keep and the poles didn't seem to be too off, but maybe i wasnt holding it straight enough. is there anyone else's phone you can use or is there a cell repair place close by? they might be able to help |

My internet provider is not the same as my cell phone provider, neither of which are connected to Yahoo (as far as I know), so I have three completely (as far as I know) independent telecommunications entities doing strange things with my technology within the past couple of days.
