A method ( 300 ) and system for pre-loading preferred access contact information can include a transceiver ( 28 ), memory ( 24 ) for pre-storing preferred access contact information for a predetermined merchant in an electronic phonebook or a speed dial number slot, a presentation device ( 26 ) and a processor ( 22 ) coupled to the transceiver and memory of a portable communication device ( 20 ). The processor can be programmed to track accesses to the preferred access contact information from the memory and report the number of accesses to a server accessible by the transceiver. The processor can be programmed to automatically present an advertisement stored in memory to a user when the user accesses the preferred access contact information. Note, the manufacturer of the portable communication device 20 can charge a fee to the predetermined merchant for pre-storing the preferred access contact information in the electronic address book or in a speed dial storage slot.
