MXit have finally released a desktop client, which is easily downloadable via their website. I have been wondering when this would happen and finally it has!
Download details:
There are still a number of limitations:
- Sending / Receiving encrypted messages (encryption of login details is supported)
- MultiMx
- Multiple language support
- Alert profiles
- Inline images
- Text markup
- Custom emoticons
- Voice recorder
- Vibes
- Sending SMSes
- Offline contacts cannot be hidden
- Messages that are saved in the gallery cannot be viewed
- Group broadcast (sending messages / files to all the members of a group)
Despite these limitations, MXit is still most definitely fronting the Mobile VoIP movement in South Africa!
aah yeah, my brother was using that last Dec. when we went home. comes in a bit handier than using the mobile
Last Dec? Was it available then?
well, Dec as in 2007 and yeah, he was using it on the laptop there one night. his mad into mxit. you should see him. its almost amazing to watch. he does’nt even look at his phone, he cant have a conversation with you and gooi mxit at the same time just looking down every so often to check.
I think he was probably using mpowerplayer to simulate the java application. I don’t think the desktop application has been available that long :)
MXit users are scary, completely addicted – I know a few people who sound like your brother!
nope it was defo mxit. I asked him and well the fact that he was sitting behind me doing it was rather obvious :P
Yes MXit, but a simulator to run it on the desktop :)
would’nt know. screen looked the same as your caps. so..
YEah i agree man i also have a mate like that…And EVEN the missus dose the same, just not as bad…..!!!
:@
What mxit.co.za aint working WTF!!! haha overload!!! lol
Interesting Anthony, anyway, not that important :)
Blair – Lol, I’m sure they experience serious server overloads on a daily basis!

Ya bro, MXit is just pushing the peadophile thing out of bounds!

Hi, it’s me again. Sorry it’s been a while. I need some help with mxit. Would you be able to help me out Chris? G
Let us know the problem, we might be able to help..
Sorry, I think I got the same question on two different sites. Anyways, I want to download mxit version 5.6 on my phone, Samsung D900, But when I think it’s downloaded it says install error or something like that. Is my phone one of those phones that v5.6 is just not compatible with?

I would suggest downloading a different version, ie. choose a version for a mobile similar to yours, such as the D500 for example..
I can get to download screen now without having been asked for my mxit id now, somehow they not asking me for that anymore, but the thing is I can’t select or choose for which model phone I can download as. It simply just has a link that says download and that’s it. I can’t choose previous versions either.
I’ve a problem wit my mxit. It cant login Or open same time i’ve to try about 20 times or more. pls help!!!!!!!!!
Best bet is to always delete the application, turn the phone off for 30seconds and then turn it on, redownload and reinstall the application, if that fails, then move onto checking that your operating system is compatible, etc.
John what network are you?? What phone?? What MXit version
Do any of you people that use MXit PC encounter a message “Error Has Occurred Program Needs To Shut down” or something like it? Did you carry on using it or switch to emulator?? Please help!!
Gerald, did you try downloading MXit V5.7.2 my D900i is working perfect on MXit
If anyone needs help with MXit, add me on Facebook: Chris Hoffman (profile picture is a dude showing middle finger) or on Skype: Chris Hoffman, chris4lyf
I’ll try my best to help!
im love mxit but i cnt get on to it on my laptop as i have a mac do you hve any idea on how i can get it ?
Oh no, that could be a problem, I really doubt that they’ve created a version for Mac yet :(
thanks any way they should really make a version for the mac it would go big as most people in london have mac’s
I agree, a huge number of my friends are using Macs these days, it’s not just a designer thing anymore at all.
I’m sure MXit are aware of this though, they’re a cutting edge company..
lee MXit haven’t created it but I’m sure there are emulaters that work with Mac. I’ll send a website when I find 1
I found 1.

Hi There would some one please help a girl out here im not blonde but I cant seem to download mxit on my pc please help . ;-(
Hi Kirsty, the best place is to head over to mxit.co.za and have a look at the support forums if you can’t, are you using a normal PC?
ek sukkel nou al hoe lank om mxit te laat werk nou het ek die site indek maar kry nie die Form ingevul nie???????? Whats up with that???
Hey guys, can anyone please tell me what the link is…how do i get to the “download screen” for mxit? I’ve already tried a crapload, but they don’t work. I had the one you’re talking about a while ago, but i recently reinstalled my pc and lost the link! Thanks
Hi there, this old PC client has been replaced by a completely new one named MXit EVO, available here: http://evo.mxit.com/pc/setup.exe
MXit has re-developed its PC client from scratch under the name MXit EVO, available here: http://evo.mxit.com/pc/setup.exe
Mxit isn’t using VOIP. It’s an instant messenger using it’s own protocol. VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) is exactly what it’s expanded abbreviation reads (for voice). Who wrote this article anyway :/. Always double reference what you write. Ruined a well written article.
I can see Mxit tending to VOIP, but not just yet.
2011: Don’t get Mxit Evo or a Java emulator as they suck. Get Pidgin for Windows. Supports most of the features that the mobile version has and then some.
