Turning up the transmitter power is a good way to insure that more cellphones, farther away, can hear the base station. But it doesn't to anything to help the base station hear the cellphones that are farther away. The only way to increase the coverage range reciprocally is to do something with the antenna. But that's a catch-22 . . . a higher-gain antenna has a narrower beam-width. So it works farther out, but only through a narrower 'window' of directions.

When turning up the transmit power or utilizing a high gain antenna to reach wireless users from a distance it increases exposure to misuse of wireless networks. It also exposes a potential increase in the ability for someone to hack into a user's computer on a particular network. Wireless networks should always be protected by the use of a password that is unique to the user and not to the entity supplying the internet reception.
