The data network server sends a set of wireless protocol instructions to the user's mobile device. Based on these instructions, the mobile device will display information to the user which can be used to select a particular service. While preferably presenting a continuous display to the user, the wireless protocol instructions initiate a communication connection between the mobile device and a voice server with speech recognition capabilities. Depending on the service selected and identification of the user by whatever means, including call signals, the voice will run a particular voice application which interacts verbally with the user to perform the desired service allowing the user to control the service without the necessity of entering data or information using the keypad on the mobile …
