MXit for your computer is officially here!
Download it from
www.mxit.com/mxitpc
MXit on PC with the phone emulator is still handy though – as you get to see the real original MXit version for your mobile on your PC! And you can understand what it would feel like to have it on your phone!
But for those who don’t have a phone – the new official MXit PC will provide you the fun you are looking for! 🙂
Well well well, it seems CellC is not charging for data usage (GPRS) for using MXit now!
Nice Christmas present for 2007 hay 🙂
That’s awesome, and is sure to attract of a lot of new customers, well done CellC on actually listening to… me 😀
So if you are on CellC, MXit won’t cost you any GPRS/internet costs!
MXit Moola is NOT free though 😉 Those premium SMSs will still cost ya if you want to purchase Moola to enter competitions or use cool entertainment services on MXit’s Tradepost.
Thanks Cell C for the free internet for MXit!
And the free weekend calls for 2 hours 😉
MXit is available in many languages since Version 5.2!
This will help if someone isn’t familiar with English language words on their mobile and are struggling to get MXit to chat with!
Afrikaans, Zulu and Xhosa are three other official languages spoken in South Africa, the country of creation of MXit.
I agree with the statements that the market for Xhosa and Zulu speakers is quite big in South Africa, as I experience a lot of feedback on my mobile wap site (wap.defza.com) from native South African language speakers! And it’s quite an exciting new market.
Check out this for a quick language primer 😉
At a time when MXit has reached 5.4 million users, there’s still much more potential left in the company from South Africa. At a solid 10-12K new registrations per day.
Visit www.mxit.com/wap to get MXit in your language now!
MXit version 5.3 is coming soon to a phone near you 😉
1. The room is temporary (gets deleted after you logout)
2. Can only invite people from your contact list (roster) that are online.
3. Only the creator of the room can invite people to join.
All phones can join in a MultiMx chat session! (but just a few can’t create/invite)

Another great MXit Synergy:
Apparantly, you will be able to vote for the Idols singing competition via MXit.
This must be a world first, as I doubt any other competition has allowed for voting via Instant Messenger. As usual, South Africa is first when it comes to tech innovation.
Mxit will also become the official voting medium for talent search show “South African Idols” later this year.
Official – well, there will surely still be the SMS/phone call option of voting!
The idols show on Mnet runs from Sunday 19 August – the first episode, up till the final on Sunday 9 December 2007.
Have fun!
And new: get MP3 Music Via Mxit even!
MXit now allows you to download MP3s or songs or ringtones to your phone if it supports it!
Check out Tradepost on your MXit!
How many users does MXit currently have?
Mxit just reached the 5 million users mark! (Wed, Aug 15, 2007)
MXit V5.2 is to be released soon (3rd Quarter of 2007).
Try it out first if you are a Freestyler subscriber on MXit (See the Tradepost contact on MXit), you will be notified of the new release before everyone else.
Two weeks earlier than everyone else.
Currently only R2.50 per month for those extra premium services! Nothing compared to some R5 per day scams for ringtones etc that one sees advertized.
Why get Freestyler subscription on MXit?
You can save, send and receive your messages, greetings cards and pictures at no additional cost (beyond operator data costs).
On Thursday, August 16 2007 it will be available to Freestylers first to test out!
