Why should I pay for an icq uin when i can get all I want for free using create new uin button?
You’re crazy.A 6 digit ICQ number is nothing special IMO. Anyone who is geeky enough to buy a 6-7 digit number or a 3 letter AIM account is crazy.
9 digits is honestly nothing. (In US-Canada) if you can remember a phone number+area code, you should have no problem remembering your UIN.
provolino and detn8r, obviously neither of you are sagi13gr’s “target demographic.” You are correct that you don’t need to purchase a UIN; you can always register a new account for free at any time.
For some ICQ users, have a low number means you are a veteran. Because ICQ user ID numbers are assigned sequentially, a lower-digit number would normally mean that you registered years ago. In a way, it’s a geeky badge of honor among some people.
I have a seven-digit UIN, and I must admit I am kinda proud that it’s not 8- or 9-digits. But I personally wouldn’t dream of buying such a number. Now a 5-digit UIN, maybe. 😉
On the other hand, imagine buying a UIN that matched your phone number or some other number that was significant to you? I could see someone possibly wanting to do that.
At any rate, good luck sagi13gr.
