Convert Specific Operator Numbers – Eight Digits Converter Update

Sadly, Wataniya just sent a late notification for migrating their Wataniya numbers to the new plan starting today. The SMS is requesting all users to add a 6 to all their Wataniya stored contacts. I also heard Zain are doing the same as well. This is a very tedious job, and I didn’t have that in mind in the original Eight Digits Converter release.
We have worked on a quick solution to allow you to specify the operator you want to convert specifically. It’s pretty much the same. You basically just uncheck the operator you don’t want to convert to right now.

You can check all the latest updates and download the new release at the Eight Digits Converter page. Or if you like, you can download the software directly from here:
- Eight_Digits_Converter.jar (Version 0.2.0 Fix) – Java JAR File (All platforms) – Requires JRE 1.6
- EightDigitsConverter.zip (Version 0.2.0) – Windows Installer (Windows only)
For Java Version: Please make sure after installing JRE 1.6 that you set it as the first to use. For Mac, check the Java Application Runtime Settings. For Windows and Linux, check the path environment variables.
UPDATE: I got an SMS from Wataniya saying you can convert your numbers using WBackup. I did not find any relative information on the website, but you may wanna call and ask about the service. It’s an application you install on your phone that lets you do the conversion. According to the SMS, the service is FREE of charge. I think it’s FREE for first 3 months, and you will need to store your contact information on Wataniya servers.

Teeman: Sure. Do you have them on your Address book program? Say Microsoft Office. If so, go to File -> Import & Export
Export to a file
Comma Separated Values (DOS)
Select Contacts
Select file location to store to the file
Once done, do the conversion. And go back, doing Import this time over your old contacts:
File -> Import and Export
Import from another program or file
Comma Separated Values (DOS)
Select File to Import and OK
Hope that helps. If not, and you want personal assistance, please don’t hesitate to use the contact form for further help. Or you can stick to the comments here as well.
