Oh my god. So much memories..
Year - 2004. Place - Moscow Russia. Before Facebook(or Russian VK).
High school. Everyone I know using mIRC chats in my city supported by local ISP and using ICQ.
I had Nokia 6280 phone with S40 OS and using ICQ on it with J2ME app 'JIMM' that looked like this[0][1]
At that time in 2004 it was like magic, it was so cheap to chat with status messages and Emojis, not paying for SMS.
And desktop clients of that era like QIP or Miranda IM[1] were so minimalistic and extensible.
And yeah I remember purchasing good looking ICQ number 94444911 on some shady auction, fun time
