MXit on your computer
Yeigo is a mxit alternative, which is proving to be incredible! Take a peak..
More and more talk about mobile communication is floating around, and after popping over to DefZA, which is run by a mate of mine, I decided to write an article about running MXit on your computer. I have tried this a few times, and it does work really well, and costs nothing ;)
Before you do anything, you will need to download yourself a copy of Mpowerplayer, which is a java virtual machine. Mpowerplayer will allow you to mount a java file and run MXit. You can get Mpowerplayer by clicking here.
Once you have download and installed Mpowerplayer, you will need to get yourself a copy of MXit. You can do this by clicking here firstly, this will take you to the MXit WAP site. Follow the sets below to get yourself MXit:
1. Choose your language.
2. Click on ‘Choose phone’.
3. Select your phone make and click accept.
4. Select your phone model and click accept.
5. Select your country and click accept.
6. Select your region, and type in the image code.
7. Click on the ‘Normal’ link.
This will now download a .jad file to your computer. Make sure you choose a good place to download it to, so you can easily find it once it’s downloaded. Once the file is downloaded, which should only take a few seconds, launch Mpowerplayer.
Once Mpowerplayer is open, click on File at the top left of the program, and select ‘Open..’. Locate the .jad file you downloaded and open it. This will load MXit in the Java Emulater (Mpowerplayer). From this point on, everything is exactly the same!
-> 
Have fun using MXit on your computer!

Ag nee, man. This is old news. Where’s something new? Us Mxit junkies have been using this application since before Mxit itself was released. Fine, slight exaggeration, there…
Oct 18th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
Hi Joy! Thanks for popping in, sorry that this isn’t new news to you :(
Perhaps you should stick around and wait a bit, as Yeigo is going to have something way better than mxit!
I will keep you posted here :)
Oct 18th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
I had a look at the Yeigo website… my Nokia N70 got stolen beginning this year. I now make do with a Sony Ericsson K800i. Correction: i love it!
I will only consider Yeigo if and when they start supporting my current phone.
Until then, I’ll just make do with Mxit.
Ps. Do you know how to get the new 5.2 version of Mxit on my pc?? I’m a bit blonde in that respect…
Oct 18th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Hi Joy,
I have a K810i, which is similar to yours, and I absolutely love it too! Great phone, Ericsson’s are excellent.
Yeigo.. there will be something for everyone very soon, Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, you name it :)
Well, if you can download the .jad file to your computer, you can follow the same instructions as my post.
Do you use an IM.. I would like to talk to you and show you something..
Oct 19th, 2007 at 4:29 am
I have an Ericsson. W600i I believe. I love it. I don’t think I can fit anything else on it anyways.
Back to regular life of some nature.
Oct 19th, 2007 at 10:47 am
Hehe, I will chat to you later today and show you something ultra cool for your Ericsson :)
Oct 19th, 2007 at 4:50 pm
Haha, you won’t chat with me, just to the general being that is me and talk to me without response :P
Kidding.
K. I’m here! Let the coolness begin!
(As soon as I find my phone again…)

[...] you are like me and test these things via your computer, you can read about MXit on your computer and get things started. [...]
Dec 12th, 2007 at 8:50 am
I think its great, now that my mom took my phone I can chat on my PC!!!
Dec 12th, 2007 at 8:52 am
Hey is anyone there?
Dec 12th, 2007 at 10:11 am
I’ve never really given mxit a chance.
ive always remained in touch with my friends via msn/mirc and other means
Dec 12th, 2007 at 10:57 am
Hi Chene, using mxit via the computer is rather useful I must admit. I still upload that Yeigo is a more exciting application with some interesting features though and is definitely worth looking into!
blade – I am in the same boat as you on this one, however, the MSN integration with Yeigo is pretty decent, I find myself using it frequently!

Mar 14th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Hi Phil, sorry to hear that! Can you not change your password via the website or something, otherwise I would suggest hitting the mxit forums if they have.
Have you blacklisted the phone, etc. ?
Mar 17th, 2008 at 2:20 pm

Mar 19th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
hi guys i jst wanna inform all of you mxit users of the damgers of chatin on line coz in most cases you dont even know the person that your chating to some of this people are peodophiles so i’m not trying to refrain from chating coz i know that thsat id beyond my control but what i’m doiung is just giving all of you a word of advise i’m talking from experience so becareful. ignoran tis not an excuse of the law
Mar 19th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Regie, not entirely, with mxit, you have to add the person to your contact list, so if you don’t know someone, then don’t add them – the user is in control. If they decide to access chatrooms and things like that, there’s their decision and hopefully they’ll be aware of the possible consequences.
Thanks for popping in, I definitely agree with what you are saying – times are dangerous these days!

May 15th, 2008 at 1:27 am
Hi there. I notice I think it’s Chris M looks like the guy the to whom this whole thing belongs to … anyway, I was hoping to get some help here. Chris, I think you the guy to speak to, please let me know if you could help me with some mxit probs?
May 15th, 2008 at 1:53 am
What’s up?
May 15th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Oh cool, I didn’t realize you would be up this late. I’m at work now, anyway. When I try to go on the mxit site on my phone it tells me to put my mxit id in. It says I can get it fron the info on my mxit but I can’t find it there. What is a mxit id?
May 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Hmmm, MXit ID would be your phone number possibly?
May 16th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Thanks, I’ll give my phone number a try but if I don’t come right I’ll let you know. G
May 16th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Sure thing, hope you come right!
May 17th, 2008 at 11:34 am
For some reason it’s not asking for a mxit id anymore but I can’t choose any previous versions of mxit either. All it shows me on http://www.mxit.com on my phone is first it asks me to select a language, then a welcome to mxit window with new user and a link to download or already have mxit and a link to download. I select the download link next to already have mxit then a window opens where i enter my cell number and an image code then a link that says download. After that a window appears and says select a link below to download but there is only one link for v5.6 that says normal. I select the link link, select install then when it gets to the end of the installation bar thing it says install error. Any suggestions on how to help me out? Either from Chris or anyone? Please? :-) Thanks.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Damn, that’s annoying, can you not select a different phone model?
May 17th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Yes I can, but the thing is when I select a different model then There’s no way to exit that window. If I select to go back it just takes me back to the previous screen then I get stuck in a loop.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
That’s really strange, have you tried the MXit forums?
May 19th, 2008 at 11:54 am
Sorry I’m replying late. Yes I did check there and I found a lot of people have the same problem. The mxit guts reckon try a clean start or something like that. Delete the mxit I have now and then try download the new v5.6. Somehow I doubt that will work though but will I lose all my contacts at the same time if I try this?
May 19th, 2008 at 11:59 am
I forgot to mention that when I select the download link next to where it says already have mxit then I can’t select a differnt phone model But I can select a different phone model if I select the download link next to where it says new user. That’s where I get stuck in that loop I mentioned about.
May 25th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
hey all , i dont really know how this whole thing works would some one plz HELP me to get mxit up and running on my p.c ?? plz
