MXit Alphanumeric Login Names – How To Set A Login Name

10 December 2009 25 Comments

MXit released a new service that can be used to set the name you use to login to MXit… so no more remembering those long mobile numbers.

Here’s how it works…

First add the Set Login Name service (if you don’t have it already) by going to MENU -> ADD CONTACT -> MXit SERVICE

  • The service name: “setloginname
  • Give it a nickname: “Login Name

It’s pretty obvious what to do by just chatting to the service and following the help instructions if you get confused.

Your Login Name can be made up of letters, numbers or a combination of both. It needs to be at least 3 characters long. The only symbols you can use are “.” and “_” Your Login Name can’t start with either of these symbols and you cannot use more than one next to each other.

Please note that you cannot change your default Login Name, this is your registered MXit number, you can only add a new login username.

    Hi Dave,

    If you have the latest version of MXit, the MXit for iPhone emoticon button is to the left of the space button on any chat screen when writing a message.

    Hope this helps

    hi
    i can not remember my original log in name. Please help

  • Charlene

    how do i get the original log in name? forgot it!

  • http://www.daxfrost.com Dax Frost

    Hey @Charlene,

    There isn’t currently a mechanism for retreiving a forgotten login name… BUT if your mobile number is still set as one of your login names you may be able to use that, give it a try…

    Remember, if you have forgotten your MXit pin – SMS the word “pin” to 34006…

  • William

    i’ve checked my number, password and all the fine details. That’s everytime open mxit using auto login. But now I can’t remember when pin. When network provider was no sign before my mxit is close and then login and pin. I can’t remember what pin. I sms try to 34006. But it keeps giving me the following error: “we were unable to find a user with the login name. Please sms the word ‘PIN’ followed by your login name to”. It won’t be working as fixing. I suggest that I did registering my number and email address. If I forget pin, then MXIT must email me for same pin n mxit user OR rest pin and new pin. So now please help. Please reply me.

    Kindly regard

    William

    Hi @William,

    Login to your MXit account, and just change your password under your profile.

    Menu -> My Profile -> Update Profile

    From this screen – just change your PIN to something new.
