Ideal port for a chat application

I have created a chat application in which can send and receive text through the port 10. Is that port reserved for any other application?.

Which port should I use?

It's not safe to use ports below 1024 (?).
Just to be on the safe side, use port numbers above 1024.

I agree with >1024. Make also your app configurable, in case you run into some other app using exactly your favorite number above 1024 :)
