A system and method for a user to initiate a data only session with a mobile terminal over a wireless network configured with an IS-683 protocol. The user selects a system with the mobile terminal in order to place a call with the wireless network. Next, a call is originated with the mobile terminal to the wireless network. A traffic channel is assigned for the call originated with the mobile terminal. The call is routed to a web server of the wireless network that collects user information from the mobile terminal. Finally, the web server will initiate the mobile data programming session with the mobile terminal such that the user does not need outside assistance from a customer service representative to initiate the call.
