ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

I just recently tried to log into my old icq account. It didn’t let me unless I provided a phone number so I noped the fuck out.

Cell phones were not really "a thing" when I had icq. No way I'll remember my number. But I definitely used it for a time...

Could always just use a temp number from a burner app.

I just logged into mine. It asks for your phone number, but if you hit cancel it will let you in. I can't believe I remembered my number. Crazy.
