With ICQ you can easily communicate online by using text chat, voice and video conversations with anyone, such as a friend, colleague or a family member. This method of communication is a lot faster than email, excellent for quick short conversations and is perfect for occasions when you can not meet in person. In the latest version of ICQ, while keeping everything you are accustomed to about it, such as your contact list, smileys, and quick access to all your buddies, many creative new ways to connect and share thoughts, files and photos were added. Same as before, it is 100% free of charge to download ICQ and use most of its exciting features.

ICQ Features

Mobile text messaging

Text message your friends’ mobile phones with an SMS from your ICQ. Your friends can text you back from their cell phone straight into your ICQ conversation window.

Super-quick IM

Faster instant messaging? Yes, of course! Now you can send and receive your instant messages right in your Contact List or in the message notification on your desktop.

Voice and Video Conversations

Write, chat, talk and look at your friends using text, voice and video. In ICQ you can use each communication panel separately, or combine them all in one window.
