Create your ICQ account

Before you can chat via ICQ, you have to create an ICQ account. If you already have one, you can skip this page.

Go to the registration page with your preferred web browser (e.g. Firefox, Konqueror, Chromium) www.icq.com/register

Enter you data

Now you have to wait until you get an e-mail from ICQ, which contains your verification link.

click on the verification link in your e-mail to verify you registration

Now you have your ICQ account! But at the moment, you can only login with Kopete using UINs (Unified Identification Number). ICQ does not show you your UIN by default. You have to go with your browser to www.icq.com/people and login there.

login on www.icq.com

Then you have to go to your profile:

click on My Profile

Now you will get an information page about your account. If you click on "More about me" you will see an entry called ICQ#. This is your UIN:
