I can't resurrect my old ICQ number? It was short too.

I still remember my ICQ number… 1057955. Been a long time since I tried accessing that account.

idk, but mine no longer works -- they deleted old numbers before releasing this new icq.

I'm hoping to reclaim my ICQ number!

Wish I could get my 5-6 digit icq number back... long since lost to the ether...

It has been years since they let me use my ultra short ICQ number from the 1990s.

See ya'!

It's weird that I can't remember my phone number from that time

But the ICQ number has stuck with me

But they deleted all ICQ numbers a short while ago

I still remember my ICQ number, this one is 8 digits, I had a 7 digit but somehow lost the login. I must have been 11.

To this day, I still remember my ICQ number from back in the nineties. However, unfortunately the same doesn't apply to the password and I can't seem to be able to reset it.

It's been 24 years yet I remember my ICQ number. It's so weird as the number isn't easy either neither I was an addict icq user.

Apart from my old phone number, my old ICQ number (and GeoCities address) is something I still know by heart. I would love it if I could get it back.

I think I still remember my ICQ #: 15868571

EDIT: How would I even log in to take a peek? It won't accept my US phone # and my (old, insecure) passwords that I likely used no longer work (and I can't seem to use that number as the login!)

Hasn't it not actually been ICQ for a while now? I thought the original service with the numbers (387175) was shut down and replaced with something else entirely at some point.

Oh wow... I still remember my old ICQ number (very low 100Ks). Basically lived on it for many years.

lol, still remember my icq number by heart: 5479339

It's funny that I still remember my icq number without hesitation. I haven't used it in years, but I think it's like your first phone number or something that you just don't forget.

Edit: 19662##

Do I wish I could find my old ICQ number and password

alrlroipsp | karma 129 | avg karma 1.13 · | 2022-10-31 05:17:56

Meh. I still remember my ICQ #.

netsharc | karma 7894 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2024-05-25 06:37:23

This new (and to be euthanised) ICQ isn't the one with the numeric username. Out of curiosity I did (re-)register a few years ago, IIRC it used the user's phone number as the username.
