Which program opens a *.obk file
Posts: n/a I have saved all my phone numbers to a file which has a *.obk extension. The problem is i had deleted all my phone software and cannot remember which program opens this type of file. I have tried downloading a few but nothing that open or saves to a *.obk file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards John  Responses to "Which program opens a *.obk file"

Rename the file extension to ..cab and you should be able to open it with WinZIP or similar. -- >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> http://www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> http://www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<<

I tried to open them with Word, notepad, and word pad. Is there some other program i can try and open this file with.

You should still be able to strip the information out using notepad, but it will be tedious. Alternatively, why not try to find someone with Oxygen who could export the data to a text file for you - or you could always buy it yourself :-) BTW, could you please not top-post, it makes the thread much harder to follow. -- >>> Unlock Your Phone's Potential <<< >>> http://www.thephonelocker.co.uk <<< >>> http://www.uselessinfo.org.uk <<<

You can extract it's content using any CAB-compatible archiver, but most files inside the archive (including phonebook file) are stored in internal Oxygen Phone Manager's format, so you can read them only from Oxygen Phone Manager. 2. Although the Restore function (that reads *.obk file and gets all the data from it) is available in the registered version only, you can read your phonebook file with trial version of OPM: just extract PB.DAT file from *.obk archive and read it using Phonebook "Load from file" button (do not forget to select "All files (*.*)" in files filter combo box).
