A system and method for registering a mobile computing device for a data service on a wireless network is described. The method comprises receiving a request from a user to initiate a program on the mobile computing device which requires a network connection for a data service. The method comprises checking if a wireless account for the data service has been activated for the mobile computing device, and, if a wireless account for the data service has not been activated, transmitting to a network node a serial number of the mobile computing device and a key which is based on an encryption of the serial number. The method further comprises receiving a message indicating a wireless network connection is granted.

The mobile computing device of claim 12, wherein encrypting the user entry comprises utilizing a hash function. 14. The mobile computing device of claim 12, wherein the user entry comprises a plurality of digits. 15. The mobile computing device of claim 12, wherein retrieving the encrypted activation key from the memory resource includes reading an activation file, the activation file being previously stored in the memory resource after completion of a registration process by the user. 16. The mobile computing device of claim 12, wherein the mobile computing device is to transmit the network connection request to the network node over a wireless network. 17. The mobile computing device of claim 12, wherein execution of the instructions causes the processor to perform operations further comprising: based on the indication, communicating data using the data service provided by the network node. 18. A mobile computing device comprising: means for receiving, from a network node, an encrypted activation key;means for initiating a program stored in a memory resource of the mobile computing device that requires a network connection for a data service, wherein the program is a phone program, a messaging program, or an e-mail program;means for determining, in response to initiating the program stored in the memory resource, that an account for the data service has not been activated;means for querying, in response to determining that the account for the data service has not been activated, a user for identification information;means for receiving a user entry via an input mechanism;means for initiating an activation process by (i) encrypting the user entry, (ii) retrieving the encrypted activation key from the memory resource, (iii) comparing the encrypted user entry with the encrypted activation key, and (iv) based on the comparison, transmitting a network connection request to the network node; andmeans for receiving, based on the transmitted network connection request, and from the network node, an indication that a wireless network connection is granted. 19.
