Getting Started

Overview

MXit connects you to a virtual universe of free, fun self-expression.  MXit IM is a next generation mobile instant messenger and social networking software application that allows you to chat anywhere on earth from your mobile or PC for free.  You can connect with your Yahoo, ICQ, Google Talk, AIM, or Windows Live Messenger contacts. Communication has never been easier!

Contacts 

When using MXit for the first time, you will find the following contacts pre-loaded onto your mobile:

• Info

Keep an eye on this one, because Info keeps you up-to-date with current technical issues and important information about your MXit.

• The Gallery

The Gallery allows you to save your conversations, images and stuff for future reference. It’s also a place where you can keep skinz and emoticards sent to you by fellow MXit users.

• JoeBanker

Think of JoeBanker as your financial advisor. He handles your Moola (MXit's own currency) and keeps track of your transactions within MXit.

• Tradepost

Tradepost lets you know about current competitions and the latest and greatest gadgets available to MXit users.  Just select ‘Tradepost’ and the Tradepost menu will appear. From here, you can browse around and see what floats your boat. Tradepost is also central to finding cool stuff from skinz, chatrooms, music, news, hot gossip, movie info, greeting cards, and much more. When you want to trade, you simply buy MXit Moola by SMS or access the ‘Buy Moola’ facility on Tradepost. Joe Banker will then take care of your Moola. So go wild!
