MXit v5.7 now available for download

Samsung 'SAM' MXit v5.7

MXit is probably the most popular mobile instant messaging service in South Africa and it's not hard to see why. It's super cheap to keep in contact with friends/family, find new friends and is a good place to get useful information; Samsung Mobile's SAM being a brilliant example.

MXit v5.7 is now out! Their Info section reveals that this release has the following updates (only a select few shown here):

  • Manual reconnection - this is especially helpful when in an area with a low signal
  • New MXit Skinz - to those who care about personalising its look
  • Access to emoticons and mark-up when using in-line edit - yay!
  • Menus open automatically - finally! I'd always found it to be a pain to have to send a message first to get a menu listing
  • Touch screen input - those with Samsung F480s and the like will appreciate this nifty feature
  • Added support for QWERTY keyboards
  • Faster logging in
  • Improved speed

The default background has some sort of green theme going on. Can't say it makes it any easier to read white text on it but I'll live :)

HI

Please help

Make sure that your settings

Make sure that your settings are selected. Use your service providers internet settings and make sure that they are selected. If it does not work try checking whether you have enough airtime as this can play a role. If neither of these work than contact MXit support.

[MXit support - support@mxit.com]

Modifying internet settings

rechorded-dj

i would recommend you to modify your default internet settings, specifically your port number, change it from "8080" to "9201"...sometimes just switch your phone off and on and try to log in again. Hope this helps...

Connection Types

8080 is http 9201 is TCP/Sockets.

It depends on which IP is used and which port the network supports, but does not matter which connection you use really though, the client will still use TCP on 8080 etc...

MXit Support Sucks

Malcolm good luck in getting support from MXit by telephone or cellphone where you can get access to a real human being.

In 2007 I met meet Glenn Alexander, the MXit Support manager, and he showed me the call centre/tech support centre they were building in Stellenbosch. At the time their Support Department was staffed by 2 girls. They were fielding a lot ton of calls from users even in the few minutes I was around them. This call centre or support centre was going to be upgraded to a 24 hour, 7 day a week, service to assist users.

So today feel like a idiot because have told thousands of parents, teachers and kids to call MXit their dysfunctional call centre Tel. 0861-00-6948 over the last year.

Does it work? Is it available? Maybe when hell freezes over will they begin treating their 9 million users with enough respect and appreciation to offer a call centre service where you can pickup your phone and call a human being. Not everyone has access to email support@mxit.com and in fact the core MXit users base does not bother with email. It is very, very low on their hierarchy of values.

Anyway who cares! Right?

MXit Interactive Assistance

Greetings Ramon Thomas,

I would just like to inform you that our MXit Interactive Assistance - 0861 00 6948 (MXit) is now available.

When you came to MXit Lifestyle and saw our call support centre at that time it was not as busy as it did get when I started at MXit Lifestyle as call support. The call support centre was outsourced due to the fact that we could not keep up with the hundreds of calls coming through. To make a long story short, this did not work so we decided to bring it back in house.

It did take some time to have this all setup again but rest assured, it is now available.

Our support email has worked wonders as we are getting in close to 500 emails a day which our support agents are taking care of. Yes it does seem fair to conclude that not everyone has access to email but email is available on many cell phones and we have helped thousands of MXit users this way.

We also offere MXit support on our wapsite www.mxit.com/wap and our forum http://forum.mxit.com which is viewable from a cell phone.

Call support

Greetings Ramon Thomas,

At the moment we do not have a call centre up and running unfortunately. We had our two ladies doing call support quite awhile back which I also joined them helping them out.

We did out source our call centre a few months back but thought rather to bring it back and keep it in house.

At the moment we are busy with a IVR call system where MXit users can call, follow the steps and will be lead to the steps on sorting their problems out. We know it did take quite some time to get this up and running, but we had to get cables laid so we can run an IVR system.

We do apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The nice thing is that our forum can be accessed from a cell phone using an application called Opera Mini.

Opera Mini is an application that allows you to browse the full internet on your phone. It's quite a handy tool. :)

i'm using samsung E250 but doesn't support mxit always says installation failed so i want to know why mxit doesn't work on my phone because is included on the phones that are able to download and install mxit.

Samsung E250

Greetings Cedric,

Your phone is support and can run the latest version of MXit which is 5.7.

Normally when you get the 'Installation failed' error, you will need to change a few settings on your phone in order for the phone to pick up a GPRS connection through a java application such as MXit.

No MXit....

If MXit worked on your SGH-250 before then maybe you need to reset the phone to it's defaults. - don't forget to backup everything.

If it still doesn't work maybe Pooosh would be an alternative. Although their main objective is Voice Chat Messaging. Free "Unlimited Instant Messaging" is also offered.

Otherwise you could try Skype.

Greetings,

This sounds like you cannot log in due to an incorrect pin.

To get your lost MXit Pin, send an SMS containing the word ‘PIN’ to 34006. You will then receive a SMS in return containing your lost PIN.

Please note:

* This only works with cell numbers that are in South Africa.

* Please make sure that you send the SMS from the same cell phone number that you are registered to MXit with. This is one of the reasons why you must have the SIM card for the MXit profile that you are using.

* If you receive a blank reply from your service provider, this means the number you SMSed from is NOT registered to MXit.

* This SMS costs R2.00

Why do some phones

Why do some phones only support v.5.3 as its latest version.

RE: Why do some phones

Greetings,

When the phone is manufactured there is a certain amount of dynamic memory allocated to it.

Now MXit uses the dynamic memory when sending and receiving of data so hence the memory will get lower and lower until it is finished. Once it is finished previous messages on the phone will be deleted.

Now with that said, many of the features in version 5.4 or higher uses quite a bit more memory than just texting and this is why the older phones only support version 5.3.

Unfortunately there is no way to increase dynamic memory as this is built into the phone when it is manufactured.

So if the number has been recycled, isn't there a possibility that the person can use his old MXit number to access the MXit application, thus using the new users MXit contacts. Or is there a fail safe in place?

If any of this happens would it be a good idea to contact the MXit helpline?

Please do not respond to the MXit problems as some of the information you are giving out is incorrect.

Deleting a contact and re-adding them has nothing to do with GPRS/connection problems.

Cell C - MXit charges

Just something that has come to my attention.

Cell C - when logging onto MXit, it is still free but something has changed on their side. So now when you log into MXit using Cell C, there is a 'deposit' taken of 96c. When the GPRS connection is closed the 96c is returned to your airtime.

Greetings Christopher, If

Greetings Christopher,

If you are using all four network providers and still experiencing lag then this could be due to the phone settings on your phone not setup correctly. When changing a service provider then the settings on the phone should be set up manually as well.

Unfortunately billing of GPRS is on the service provider's side. This is something MXit cannot control. MXit does not charge for GPRS usage, MXit only requires one present.

But to think about it, R2/MB is not a lot compared to when GPRS was first introduced in South Africa is was close to R50/MB. I am not too sure of the figures but it was quite a lot.

4. Select CONNECTION
5. Make sure that your service providers GPRS settings are selected.

MXit Pro

Greetings beez,

Depending on which Samsung cell phone you are currently using you could possibly use MXit Elite instead.

MXit Pro is the version for lower end phones and does not support all the features that MXit has to offer. MXit Pro is just another name for version 5.3.1.

MXit Elite on the other hand is the latest version of MXit 5.8.0. Of course this would be a better version to use as it offers many more features than what Pro offers.

New MXit download

i wanted to load the new MXit on my Samsung F250, but keep on getting the same error message. Error: Request timed out. My service provider is Virgin Mobile. I use to be on MXit but delete it to load the new one. PLEASE help

Samsung F250

Greetings NARRI,

Please try the following, open your phone's default wap browser, clear the browser's cache, turn off your phone, turn on your phone, now try to download MXit again.

If you are still having issues then download opera mini from www.operamini.com and once installed use Opera Mini to download MXit. Opera Mini is an application that allows you to browse the full net using your cell phone. A very handy application.

Sony Ericsson W302

Ok well I followed the steps you said to the previous guy and it still does not work. this is what it reads -- Activation error. Please check you GPRS settings or try again later.

Thanks in advance,

Darren

W302

Greetings,

There seems to be a problem here.

Does your number perhaps start with a 076 or 076?

This error you getting normally comes from a glitch when you registered and it picked up as 076 and not 2776 and this is why activation failed.

I think the best for you to do is email our support@mxit.com with a short description of your problem so we can sort it out for you.

Regards,
MXit_Team

W302

Greetings Anonymous,

Please give this a try quick to see if it will work on your handset.

Please download MXit onto your phone but do not open it.

Request new GPRS settings from your service provider:

* CellC users: Dial *147#
* MTN users: Dial *123*13#
* Virgin Mobile users: Go to the Virgin Mobile menu on your phone and select "Virgin Settings". When prompted to download the settings, reply "YES".
* Vodacom users: Dial *111# (select option 4 or 5)

Once you have received these save them as your default GPRS profile then restart your phone.

Once the phone is back on now try MXit again.

forgot my MXit pin

please someone email me

MXit Pin

Greetings,

To get your lost MXit Pin, send an SMS containing the word ‘PIN’ to 34006. You will then receive a SMS in return containing your lost PIN.

Please note:

* This only works with cell numbers that are in South Africa.

* Please make sure that you send the SMS from the same cell phone number that you are registered to MXit with. This is one of the reasons why you must have the SIM card for the MXit profile that you are using.

* If you receive a blank reply from your service provider, this means the number you SMSed from is NOT registered to MXit.

* This SMS costs R2.00

MXit problems

I have a Motorola W230 and it contains wap, gprs but it cant install MXit what can i do?

Unsupported phone

Greetings,

In order for a phone to run MXit it needs to have 3 requirements:

* It must be WAP enabled.
* It must be JAVA enabled.
* It be able to download third party Java applications such as MXit.

Unfortunately this phone does not support all the requirements to run MXit so you will not be able to download MXit onto this phone.

Regards,
MXit_Team

See Above

Anonymous- you'd do well to e-mail the addy given above for MXit related help. Also, I think it's quite risky just giving out your number on a public platform such as this one..

login and password left blank
proxy address: 196.006.128.012

PS data: login and password blank
APN: internet
save

then i went to options again. selected advanced. then security. (untrusted) select ok and on internet access, i selected ask once.

went back to the advanced options and selected connection. and selected the connection i just created."

But when I try to install it I get the following message: "Installation failed. Check your GPRS settings or download MXit again from http://www.mxit.com/wap. You have 102Kb of storage available on your phone. MXit recommends a minimum of 100Kb for installation. [Error code 400]

firmware for Samsung i560

I have had great trouble trying to connect to the internet using my phone as a modem for my laptop, but after 5 days calling the help desk, removing PC7 studio from the pc and re-installing software and modem drivers only to get the same problem, it just ain't picking up the driver. Eventually i decided to call a service centre who told me within 10 seconds that i need a firmware upgrade and it would take 5 working days to get my phone back. Firstly why would the data support centre of Samsung not know about this problem, and give me tedious work changing connection settings, restarting pc etc etc etc. Then i joined the blog to download the firmware myself as it would be alot quicker, only to find that there is no firmware for this model, but a lot for the Omnia.

Can anyone help me with this

Thank you

RE: firmware for i560

The software for Symbian devices has not been supplied due to a difference in software type. We have only supplied software for Windows Mobile phones. You will need to get the unit to a service centre for upgrade (see http://www.samsungblog.co.za/support/service-centres).
