A call routing system, phone system, and mobile phone for routing calls based on a location of the mobile phone. By routing calls, mobile phone charges can be eliminated or reduced by directing calls to other phones near the mobile phone. In a typical embodiment, user configuration information for the system is setup before receiving calls. The user configuration information can define multiple zones with each zone associated with a routing number. During operation, the mobile phone can periodically update its location using a positioning system thereon. When a call is made to the mobile phone, the call can be routed to another number by the phone system when the mobile phone's location is within a defined zone. The zones can be specific to broad and can overlap each other. In one illustration, a first zone can be an office while a second zone can be a building.
