Where to find account number of my AT&T prepaid gophone

If you have AT&T prepaid Go Phone and want to transfer your number out of your gophone to another provider, like for example if you want to transfer your gophone number to Google Voice you will need the AT&T account number.

But you will not find your account number on the att.com website, not even when you login to att.com/mygophone with your phone number and pin.

It appears like AT&T does not want to disclose this account number even to the logged-in customers of gophone.

You can get this account number by calling 611 from your gophone and talking to representative (you select "More options" and then press 0 for operator. Operator will give this account number to you, just ask for it and insist that you need it.)

But there is a way to get your account number without having to call and deal with someone at at&t. Your at&t  prepaid gophone account number is hidden in the html source code of the "refill" page

Here are the steps. In this example I was using chrome browser on a MAC, but you can use another browser and can be on Windows. It helps if you already know how to view html source code of web pages.

1. Login to att.com/mygophone with your phone number and pin
2. Click on “Refill” link or icon.
3. When on the refill page view html source code on the page using browser “view source” option. Att web page has javascript that disables the right-click, so you cannot just right-click to view source.
4. If you using mac you must use CMD + ALT + J in chrome browser to open developer tools. On Windows use CMD+SHIFT+C (I think)
5. Search html source code for your phone number using area code and number without any dashes. You will find block of html like this:

In this example we assume your phone is 5405556224

And your account is found in the same block of code in the data-user-account-billing-account property and also in data-user-account-ctn property. In this example it’s 494106666666

<div id="edmSession" data-user-login-id="5405556224" data-user-account-billing-account="494106666666" data-user-account-ctn="494106666666" data-user-email="" data-user-zip="" data-user-account-billing-state="" data-user-account-billing-city="" data-user-account-billing-zip="" data-user-login-type="CTN" data-user-account-liability-type="CONS" data-user-account-billing-system="T" data-description="Common session data" ></div>

Did this help you? 

My answer to "Mongo DB question in Config"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

OK, the replica set is a bit tricky, but not all that difficult.
First rule to remember - do not point to server by IP address - always use the domain name of member of replica set. If you don't have your own DNS server then just add the name to ip mappings to your hosts file

Then use this type of mongo connection string in your !config.ini

mongodb://rs1.example.com:27017,rs2.example.com:27017/?replicaSet=myReplSetName

I took this example from php.net documentation here:
http://php.net/manual/en/mongo.connecting.rs.php

There are other ways to connect to replica set but for Lampcms the easiest way it to just have this connection string in !config.ini in MONGO section as value of 'server'

Again - its very important to use domain names and not ip addresses. We learned this the hard way when we first started using mongo replica set at our project at my job. Yes, I work with mongo replicate set from php and node.js every day. I am not a server admin or DBA so I don't really touch the servers. I am a developer and write programs that use MongoDB in production at a pretty large scale. We use sharding and replica sets.

My answer to "WAMP + Mongo"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

You need to download the mongo extension .dll file for windows
Here are basic instructions:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/mongo.installation.php#mongo.installation.windows

Another source for these dll files is here
https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-php-driver/downloads

Make sure you download the right version - 32bit or 64bit version depending on your system. If one does not work try another one.

It took me awhile to find the driver that actually worked on my PC and now I don't even remember which one I ended up using. The point is - you may try several different .dll files

Just try one, restart your Apache and launch the file that only has phpinfo(); like it it
Look for the output of that file in browser to see if Mongo section is present. If not then the dll file did not work, try another one, restart Apache and repeat.

My answer to "WAMP + Mongo"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

I have wamp + mongo running on my local PC. That's basically my development environment.
You install them separately.
Download Mongodb for Windows, install it, then start it from command line by just launching the mongod from bin directory from the command prompt. Do not just click on mongod file - you must instead open command prompt, cd into the directory where mongod file is located and start it by just typing mongod
Do not close the prompt - just keep it opened for as long as you want your mongo server to run.

You may need to pre-create the c:/data/db directory on your computer. That's where mongo stores database files by default.

Read instructions just to be sure:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/


Then configure your WAMP server using sample config file in Lampcms distribution. In Lampcms in config/!config.ini edit the 'server' setting in MONGO section, like this:
server = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017"

That should work for your local mongodb server.

My answer to "Mongo DB question in Config"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

I will look into that. What I can suggest is to add the 3rd server to your replica set.
From what I understand about mongo replication is that the members of replicate set vote to elect the new primary when old primary goes down.

Read this documentation.

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/replica-set-elections/

From the documentation:

"If you have a three-member replica set, where every member has one vote, the set can elect a primary as long as two members can connect to each other. If two members are unavailable, the remaining member remains a secondary because it cannot connect to a majority of the set's members. If the remaining member is a primary and two members become unavailable, the primary steps down and becomes and secondary."

What do you mean by mergin profile with facebook/twitter? Lampcms already has option for users to connect their FB and Twitter accounts so Questions can be posted to FB/Twitter at the same time you ask a question.

Also links to user's Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Blogger are added to user's profile when they connect their social accounts to Lampcms account.

And of cause once connected you can login with Twitter/FB, Google, LinkedIn login.

My answer to "How to Start the Forum ?"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project

This means your php installation does not have the 'gd' extension. Do you know how to install or enable the 'gd' extension? It's used for creating the "captcha" image which is used on the registration page.
