Apparatus, and an associated method, for creating and using a call-screening list at a radiotelephone. The call-screening list is formed by making use of entries contained in a speed-dialing list also maintained at the radiotelephone. A user of the radiotelephone elects to create the call-screening list based upon the entries of the speed-dialing list. The entries contained in the speed-dialing list are accessed and copied into a call-screening list to form the entries thereof. When a call is subsequently placed to the radiotelephone, the identity of the calling station is determined and the identity of the calling station is compared with the entries in the call-screening list. If a match is found, then an alert is generated to alert the user of the radiotelephone of the terminating call.
