Someone mentioned to me that they heard that some cellular carrier was using existing powerlines to carry signals and reception was improved as long as power or telephone lines were near. Is this bunk? If not which company is it. Very rural mountain dweller wants to know. Thanks.

To understand how cellular technology works, go here: http://www.howstuffworks.com/cell-phone1.htm

In short, what you heard is "bunk." The confusion may have been over the fact that at some point there does need to be a connection from the wireless company to the wireline company's network. This is all explained in the above link.

To read further about various cellular technologies, follow the links from my website.
