A cellular telephone maintains a screening list of calling party numbers, and sp ecifies call handling therefor. A mobile switching center is responsive to selected type s of the specified call handling. The call handling can depend on whether the call is loc al or non-local, which is affected by the location of the cellular telephone. The call handling can also depend on the time at which the call is made. A subscriber updates his or her sc reening list via personal computer, and transmits via a communication network the updated scr eening list to a message center which sends the updated screening list to the cellular telep hone via wireless communication. A calling party number can be specified as a wildcard.
