A wireless communications device (106) uses graphic image data to simplify the calling process. The user may enter desired destination telephone numbers (168, 170, 172) that are associated with a selected graphic image (160, 162, 164). The user may subsequently recall the desired destination telephone number simply by selecting the associated graphic image. The system may include scroll buttons (120) to position the desired graphic image in a predetermined position or may include a touch-sensitive screen (124) so that the user may initiate a phone call simply by pressing the desired portion of the touch-sensitive screen. In addition, a call history profile is maintained using destination telephone numbers and associated graphic images. The graphic images can be represented in different manners to indicate the frequency with which the associated telephone number has been called or to indicate the chronological sequence in which telephone numbers have been called. In addition, the system may include an input interface to allow the user to download graphic images from an external source, such as a computer. The downloaded images may include digitized photographs so that the associated graphic image will be readily recognizable to the user.
