I have never had one of these, so completely out of my depth. But I mother just got one and was wondering if it is possible to have calls redirected based on your location? We get roaming charged at home, but at home we have a landline. So can you have the cellphone/carrier redirect phones calls to your cell when the cell is away from home and direct them to the landline when you are home?

Use call fowarding, just get in the habit of turning it on at home, and off when you leave

Sounds good. And that will be an option in the phone options?

Its carrier dependent. I can only tell you with AT&T (who I use) its *216032121234#

Where *21 is the foward code, and the remainder is the number your fowarding too. And to shut it off its #21#

Pretty sure all major carriers offer the feature, you might have to google yours.

The formatting edited my post, that should read 2 stars,21,1star,number,pound sign

Ah. There seems to be settings embedded in my phone but I am not sure exactly how they work. There is a forward when Busy, but I am not sure what busy means. And there is a setting "forward unanswered calls", but of course forwarding makes no sense when it has already rung for 30 seconds. It might mean not even touching the phone as it was not working when I was watching the phone ring and using it.

There is also just a forward all calls setting, but it is not the easiest of quickest thing to set.
