I was talking to a friend via ICQ and noticed his number was 9 digits long. It occured to me that my 7 digit ICQ number is pretty darn old. I got to thinking and I’ve had my ICQ number for about 10 years now. I got to thinking more (scary huh?) and starting pondering on who might have the lowest (oldest) ICQ account number.
My number is 1661231. Is it common to see that low of a number with ICQ folk or can I safely assume this is quite unique nowdays?
I know.. it’s January 1st and I’m quite bored obviously 🙂
January 1, 2004 at 9:57 pm #51763Jeff HesterKeymasterHey Rob! Long time no see. Good to see your site’s back up.
I’ve got a 7-digit number, too. I used to have a 6-digit ICQ number originally, but let I quit using ICQ for a while and eventually forgot it. I never imagined that anyone would really care about “the number.”
Since ICQ has over 100,000,000 registered accounts, I’d say it’s probably pretty rare. If you can find a 6-digit number, some people even pay money for them!
January 1, 2004 at 10:07 pm #51767robbear7MemberIt is so nice to have my site back up. My life is that website and having it down for 3 months was miserable. Unfortunately I lost quite a few regulars and it may take some time to rebuild the visitor count to where it was before the site was down.
Anyways.. staying on topic. If you could recover that 6 digit number you could make some money. Heck, I’d be all over that opportunity. 🙂 My number was idle for 5 years until one day I was able to search out the number on icq.com and actually remembered the password.
January 1, 2004 at 10:17 pm #51765FaizanMemberRustedtight, our retired moderator used to have some 6 digits numbers, but I believe they got hacked.
January 2, 2004 at 8:33 pm #51775DoSMembermy number is 965569 have been using icq since 1997 thats why its low… if u have a 9 digit number and its hard to memorise then u can register and email from http://mail.icq.com and sign in using ur email address u dont have to sign in via ur icq#. One thing though u must have an icq# to register an ICQ Mail account.
January 2, 2004 at 9:15 pm #51766robbear7MemberDoS, you mentioning getting your 6 digit icq number 7 years ago got me to thinking. I initially calculated almost 10 years ago for my 7 digit number, but after putting my brain to work it was actually more like around 7 years ago.
I wonder if they will ever hit the 1,000,000,000 count? That number is one billion in case you didnt want to take the time to count all the zeroes 🙂
January 2, 2004 at 9:42 pm #51772AnonymousParticipantMy ICQ is 103623, I use it now because it was one of my first, and the lower #’s are important these days lol.
I have 259487 also, but it wont always connect for some reason. Also, I have 485290 but ICQ unregistered that one.
The lowest #’s I have seen were 5 digit when I was a beta tester. I had ICQ “workers” add me to thier lists.

January 31, 2004 at 6:54 am #51771EvanMemberi wish i could have 1337 as my icq number. also when you register and your number is like 4567 and the next person to register will it be 4568?
January 31, 2004 at 12:34 pm #51777AIM_UserParticipantEvan,
No not neccesarily sometimes they will go from like 4566 and skip all the way up to 4584 but they never go back down again, like from 4584 next person registers 4502 That can’t happen but they do skip up. Lowest ICQ Number I have seen was from an Admin (NOC ICQ) It was 3 digits long, WOW I feel special. 😀My ICQ number is 6 long, from back in the mid 90’s

PS: On ebay Ive seen some 4 digit ones for about $60.00
February 2, 2004 at 6:16 am #51778tgfMemberthe shortest and lowest official number is 10’000.
it is probably owned by one of the icq masterminds. i also noticed some probably-GF-accounts.avoid clicking on any banners or referal-links on this page since they even force you to provide your e-mail.
February 3, 2004 at 10:33 pm #51779neilaniaMemberNO MATTER how many times I try to log in with my number 1 it just won’t work…….
February 19, 2004 at 2:24 pm #51773dmeMemberMy ICQ is 696517, and quite happy with it. i had a 6 digit ICQ number starting with 311, once, but I can’t remember the exact numer, let alone the password, and search doesn’t help much with incomplete details. 🙁
i’m wondering. would you prefer having *any* same number of digit icq number. For example, would you prefer 211111 rather than 611111? or does it not make any difference?
