I am not sure how much the towers vary their output depending on the
distance of the remote cel-phone. That will need an engineer closer to
the technology to answer. As far as I'm concerned, they are always
"shouting."

To the second half of your question, if I understand you correctly, the
answer is no. I had two things in mind:
For the tower side, it is more important to increase your distance, to
get the strength lower.
For the cel-phone side, when the tower is farther away, the cel-phone
must increase it's transmitting power to be heard. So it becomes just as
important to have fewer cel-phones around you.
