mXit for iPhone

in the meanwhile, with the iPhone 3G arriving soon, and multitudes using the old iphone, people could look at creating a Gtalk account with google (talk.google.com) and then navigating to talk.google.com on their iphone where they can add mxit contacts by adding new contacts with <telephonenumber>@mxit.co.za . It's just like adding a mxit contact, albeit on gtalk, and it works. This is because both services are 'jabber' based. It does mean re-inviting all your previous contacts though.

I can't get this to work, using IM chat & google talk but inviting contacts wont work, should your contacts also have a google talk account or should the contact add normally like via mxit?
 
You need to sign into BeeJive (there are free alternatives out there, I think) with your GoogleTalk account. You then add a MXit contact with their phone number (replace the leading 0 with 27) - eg. if their number is 0821234567 then us [email protected]
If this doesn't work, then use [email protected]
If it still doesn't work then have them add you from their side (there is an option to add a GoogleTalk contact in MXit itself).
 
will get mine up and running tonight, have to flash 2.2.1, tried on my current 2.2 last night, no go...
