It is not necessary for you to use chat or otherwise turn to Yahoo customer service in this situation. (Many Yahoo users don't even use chat, and perhaps you're one of them. And reponse to inquiries to customer servce is uncertain.)
You can recover your Yahoo account using other information, as explained at: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_ACCT&id=SLN2081&impressions=true. An additional possibility is laid out at: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD_ACCT&locale=en_US&id=SLN2768&impressions=true.
