That is to forward that messages to your mobile phone via SMS, and even reply them.

So, how can we add our mobile number or change it to our recent number if we are using a new one?

Open your Yahoo! Messenger Client and select Messenger from the menu and Preferences (you can also use Ctrl+Shift+P for quick command).

Logout your Yahoo! Messenger client, and login again to refresh your yahoo account, as you’ll notice you can now add a new number
