Clockspeed Mobile has recently launched a new communication technology in the form of MXit (pronounced ‘mix-it'), a free instant messaging program for mobile phones, which runs on GPRS technology.

MXit is supported by a wide variety of handsets and boasts a range of user benefits which include a per message cost of well under 2c per message , chat format screens, and rapid message delivery times

MXit also allows users to send and receive text messages using phones and PCs connected to the Internet. You can exchange messages with online chat communities like MSN messenger, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL messenger, and Jabber, or simply chat to other MXit users on their mobiles. This technology is rapidly proving to be the ideal medium for large communities to develop and exchange information.
