I used to work as a cellphone tech and I'm pretty sure today's phones couldn't handle that; it would take a new design as each phone would be basically functioning as a cell tower.

It doesn't seem impossible, though as AgentCash noted it would take a lot of battery power; perhaps the phones could be set to function as repeaters only when plugged into an external power source such as a car or wall outlet.

This wouldn't solve the problem of intercity and international calls, however... still need some satellite or ground lines for that I think.
