    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

    login on www.icq.com

    click on My Profile
