# Register a new account

Most account types require you to create an account with a service provider before you can use that account with instant messaging applications. You can use Empathy to register for a new account with some account providers using the same steps as you would to add an account.

Once you create a new account, your account provider should give you a login or a username and a password, as well as any additional information you need to connect using Empathy.

# IRC

IRC networks require that you specify a nick (nickname) when you connect to the server. Some IRC networks use a service, such as NickServ, to allow users to protect their nick. If you did not register your nick or are unable to do so and another user is using it, then you will need to choose a different one.

Alguns servidors d'IRC estan protegits amb contrasenya. Haureu de saber la contrasenya per connectar-vos-hi. Generalment són xarxes d'IRC privades.

Many GNOME projects use `irc.gnome.org` for project-related discussion.

# Jabber

Jabber és un sistema obert de missatgeria instantània. Semblant al correu electrònic, Jabber us permet escollir el vostre proveïdor de comptes i comunicar-vos amb altres usuaris de Jabber, sense que importi el seu proveïdor de comptes.

You will need to create a new account with a Jabber provider. There are many free providers; one popular provider is jabber.org.

If you use Gmail or Google+ Hangouts, you already have a Jabber account. Use your Gmail address and password in Empathy to connect.

# Gent propera

This service works whenever you are connected to a local network, such as a wireless hotspot, you do not need to create an account with service providor, just set up your account through Empathy. It automatically finds all other users on the network who are also using this service.

For more information, see the salut protocol.

# SIP

El SIP és un sistema obert que permet realitzar converses de veu i de vídeo per Internet. Heu de crear un compte amb un proveïdor de SIP. Podeu comunicar-vos amb qualsevol usuari de SIP sense que importi el proveïdor SIP que estiguin utilitzant.

Alguns proveïdors de SIP us permeten fer trucades a telèfons fixes i mòbils des de l'ordinador. Normalment us cal una subscripció a un servei de pagament per poder-ho realitzar.

# Serveis propietaris

There are many proprietary instant messaging services that have been developed by different companies or organizations. Empathy allows you to connect to an existing account for some of these services. To create a new account with one of these services, you will need to visit the website for the service.
