In the Contacts area, you can record email addresses, physical addresses, SMS and MMS numbers and phone numbers for each contact. However, Yahoo! Contacts has a few additional little-known features, such as the ability to create Contact Group Lists for the purpose of emailing a group of Contacts at one time. To create a Yahoo! Contact Group, you must first make sure each Contact already exists in your list of Yahoo! Contacts.
