I was wondering if it was possible to redirect calls from a land line phone to another number. For example, if a certain person is calling the land line, I would like the call to routed to my mobile number. Is this possible ?

Contact your local phone company. It is possible, but that doesn't mean your phone company will do it.

No, I was wondering if it could be done from home without involving the phone company.

There might be ways to do it, but they'll probably require additional services (a second phone line, Skype calls to land-lines, etc) that are not free.

Yes, I figured it would cost something. I don't mind as long as its not too much. Any ideas on how it can be done ?

Most of my ideas involve having a computer with a modem-line that is programmed by a service to pick up the phone line and call a your cell, redirecting audio between the two calls. How you'd do that, I don't know.

Take a look at the source code for some of the open-source equivalents of Skype and see how they call phones.
