I have yahoo Messenger set to forward IM's to my cell phone when I'm offline. The problem is that when I do this, it shows me as being "mobile" and I don't want it to show me like that. How can I prevent this?

I still want to receive messages, I just don't want other people to see an icon that says I'm mobile.
Had you tried logging in as a hidden user ?

I want people to see me, just not see that I'm mobile.

Hi Ranjeet,
The problem with that is that I'd have to run those everytime I logout of my desktop client and keep them running on my iPhone, then I couldn't run any other apps.

yes thats true but what you can do is get a phone which supports multitasking, that means a phone with s60 operation system these allow you to run several application simultaneously. other mobiles from sony errickson also have such feature. So check it out

Yeah, kind of a roundabout way, but I need too much other stuff from my iPhone and have a contract so that won't work. Was really just hoping for a flag or setting or something in Yahoo IM
when you had signed out from yahoo mobile you will not recieve any offline messages on your mobile.
