Hi there,

Gawd, I must be bored. LOL

I wonder how long your ICQ numbers are, fellow WHT members......... Let's see what we get, eh? :)

Jessica

7 Digits in Length

9 digits here!

7

8 :(

6 here :)

6 here too.......

Elena....... Yours starts with what number? :)

Jessica

too long.

77774745 ... so 8 digits. My very first one was less since I registered it quite a few years ago, when I was about 13 (am 19 now), I can't remember the number though.

8 digits. I had no idea that ICQ numbers varied in length.

8 digits here also... I remember when I registered for it.. I was like what da heck is ICQ? oh... i c q... HAHA that's um... cute.

geez, that was a long time ago too...

can anyone beat a mod :-)

6 digits and starts with 26XXXX

yeah, sad i know but ive been on the net a while now :-)

I have two #'s - an 8 and 9 digits

9 digits :(

8 digits.. but it's a very low 8! does that make it better?

*desperately hoping she can be admitted into the low, thus superior, ICQ # club* :D

9 digits here.

7

671507 - but I probably had like 4 or 5 before this one. Err.. 6 or so years ago I got the net and had ICQ probably a few months later (it was brand new stuff at the time). My years are probably off.. it was a long time ago though.. not sure what year I got this ICQ UIN specifically... but it was probably when I was 17/18 and started writing down all my passwords in a HUGE book/diary :rolleyes: LOL

Who here uses both ICQ & MSN?

Well I've got one of the first 10,000 ICQ numbers.

They started at 100000 and went from there.

Mine is 109xxx

6 digits.

6 digits

7 digits here.

145297265

9

But .. i did have alot short one b4 :blush:

mine is 9

and i do use icq , msn and aim

6 and 7 digits here.

890xxx

and

890xxxx

Nice and short :)

The 5 digit one were released but they were taken over by ICQ themselves and are no longer in use to the public.

Regarding what program I use its Trillian. Its an excellent program cos I can use all the chat programs at once:

ICQ,
MSN,
IRC,
AIM and Yahoo.

It easy to use and simple to setup, saves having loads of software running at the same time.

L8tr

Mine is 8 digits starting with 1

Realist - I wasn't aware that there were 5 digit numbers. Cool. Knowing that it's just for staff, I'm happy to have a 6 digit ICQ # that's under 110,000

8 digits. Starts with a 2.

7 digits.
There are some nice 6 digits ICQ numbers on sale on one website I forgot where, Ebay will have auctions for ICQ numbers too.

8, starts with a 2.

7 here

421****

Mine is 7 digits.

I just checked eBay and there are a few auctions for some very low ones.

105877
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2037211056

147044
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2036946754

9 digit :(

lol people actually auction low icq numbers lolol how lame is that. notice the lack of bids. i guess it could be considered similar to memorable telelphone numbers for business :(

9 digits here.

I will say this and only to inform you all. There is a script out there that scans for any block of ICQ numbers. When found it displays the ICQ number, the password used and all information that the original user used.

The reason Im telling you all this is that a large number of these ICQ numbers sold on auction sites are Illegally obtained via this method and once purchased its to late.

Regards,

Brian

8 digits here.

8 here... starts with 4.

8 digits, starts with a 1 ;-)

Pretty interesting numbers! Most have posted having 8 digits. I've seen 9-digit numbers out there. Does anyone know where they are at right now? 10-digit perhaps?

My lowest numbers are 6 digits and one starts with a 2XXXXX and the other one with 3XXXXX

Elena, xtstrike and Zutroy are among the lowest numbers thus far.

Zutroy has the lowest with 109XXX.

Cool! :)

Keep 'em coming. :)

Mines in the 16 million area, so 8 digits.

Does anyone remember what year ICQ started? Had to have been 1995 or 1996. Seems like I've had it forever, even though I don't use it that often.

Ask and yea shall receive

Steve

Mine is 7 -- got it in '97 or so...
starts with a 2

163075727 - So I've got 9 digits. I use ICQ, AIM, and MSN.:)

I used to have a shorter one, but then I didn't use it for about a month and lost the number. So I had to get a new one recently.:(

7 digits here, 14***** I remember getting mine way back when Mirabilis still owned the company and I think before icq.com was even registered. Wow, those were the days. :)

I've got 2 that are in the 6 digits :)

444021 and another in 105xxx :)

It's all good.

-Matt

mine is:

14305771

What does it mean ? :)

8 Digits here... but starting with 499xxxxx .. so kinda low number imho ... I basicly ignore all new icq numbers.. since the usually tell me someone just joined the live chatroom and they also mention something about the word "teen" ... I wish they could do something against the spam ...

mine is 6 digit that goes like 888xxx

9

8 digits

Heh, I missed this one.

I now use one with 6 digits but I had a 5 digit one. I remember I got it within the first weeks of release and I loved it...
I told all of my friends and forced them to signup. Now we all have low digits and many hacking attempts. Keep those passwords very long!

I registered as Bill gates and got many many people thinking and asking if I was the real Bill.
You can all imagine how much fun I had :)

Sure, I'm THE Bill. Wassup?
LOL!


btw. you all know how much the three programmers got when they sold it to AOL right? I believe it was 400 million dollars :bawling:

7 digits.

I've had it since 97. I remember when ICQ was new, and I refused to download it for the longest time until 97. I didn't think it would be a hit.

I regret it now though... I could have had a much lower number if I downloaded it when it was released. :bawling:

0 digits, because ICQ sucks.

6 digits 22xxxx

7 digits starting in 1

My father lost a 6 digit ICQ # starting in 11

6 digits
51XXXX

Some of my friends who has 6 digits got their either hijacked or deleted from ICQ's database.

8 digits here. A friend of mine had 6 digits and her account got hacked so she can't get her UIN back :(

13247487 - This is a lot of digits..
Interestingly if I remember correctly I had registered in 1997 or so...
Have a great day :)

what did they sold to AOL, the messenger software :confused:

AOL bought ICQ a little while back...

9.. lol.. used to have a 8 digit one a while ago, but i lost the password to it.

I have 8. No one with 5 yet...

Two sets of numbers: with 8 and 9 digits

8 digits here.

I've got 4207xxx (7 digits) that I got in early 1997.

I also had an 8 digit 3xxxxxxx but I gave it to a friend who wanted something shorter than what is currently being allocated.

I know some people with really good ICQ numbers - one is 220xxx, another is 548xxxx (the xxxx is the same digit repeated 4 times).

I use Trillian for IM - I have MSN, ICQ and AOL setup in it.

Aha, that's what i was thinking why ICQ is displaying AOL's advertisments.

How dumb i am in news :cartman:

8 digits here. I got it back in '98 :)

I use Gaim on my linux desktop, no ads there. :) You might look at Trillian for Windows machines if you want to escape the ads. I haven't used Trillian for awhile, as my linux machine is my local server and handles my chat duties as well.

4143098

i got that back in like 96

8 Digits

9 :bawling:

I guess I wasn't far behind you 441****, but I don't use that one now, I have 8 digits now :)

There was also a script that I use on an RTS website (rubinstein-taybi.org) that you can put the numbers in for people in organizations to share.

http://iwhome.com/cgi-bin/Crier/icq/icq.pl

(I need to set the script up on my new host)...
Looks like the link from where I purchased it is out of business, it was really cheap when I purchased it though.

If you had an old one - you can go back to icq.com and do a search on your name. It will give you the number... AND if you can remember the password you used then you can use it again.

mid 7's

7 and starting with 7!
