Is it true that cellphones from service providers are set to half range?

mayerj72 asked:
I heard that the service providers govern cellular phones that offer a range rather than half full. Since then a turret that can assist more phones, but the receipt is also dramatically worse. Is that true? I have heard that mobile phones are regulated released full-range and then get the signal a lot better.

Hi mayerj72,
I can tell you someone is pulling your leg.
Cutting down the range is the last thing providers want to do. They get enough complaints as it is. In addition they would need a lot more towers closer together.
The providers wish they could have the minimum power level increased. It is currently set by the government to (hopefully) prevent health issues caused by the radio waves they emit.
