It's not mxit that's chiding the data, it's all the other thingson the phone. Install TrafficStats and see what's using all the data

Re: mxit on Android
make sure that auto sync and auto update for the installed apps are disabled. Android can be tweaked to use very little data.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

That doesn't make any sense, though. There has to be something else using her airtime. mxit runs on internet data and a message on mxit is a few bytes, so you'd only notice a small loss of airtime over a long period.
I remember hearing that just logging in to mxit uses R1 or R2, but I never believed that.

Cell C has a special APN so that even if you are out of airtime you can get on to mxit, but its throttled so its slower than normal.DAE_JA_VOO wrote:That doesn't make any sense, though.

Wow, seriously?! Man, I can't believe they'd actually do that.

Cell C are clever. Now that I have a WP7 device I am seriously considering getting a Cell C contract and having a data bundle bolted on every month. Probably 250megs or maybe bigger.

Re: mxit on Android
Check to make sure that it is in fact using GPRS, make sure the GPRS settings are up to date.
Turn off user profile pictures.
And if it is still a problem, do a completely clean install of MXit (see spoiler).

When they first introduced profile pictures, the setting was on by default. So on first login, MXit would download all the profile pictures your friends had set, burning through cash. Now they have the setting off by default.DAE_JA_VOO wrote:I remember hearing that just logging in to MXit uses R1 or R2, but I never believed that.
