Hi Tanu it ?doesn't matter which service you are talking about as it applies to the registering of phones. The basics of it is when you do a hard handoff it can be rough on the network because the subscriber is just pushed on that tower. In a soft handoff, the cell is allowed to cycle, find that better tower and then be pulled into the tower. 

A cell phone being turned on is basically a hard handoff, as it really just appears on the network. While the soft handoff would be when you are driving down the road and two towers are communicating that your phone coverage is going to pass from one of them to the next. Hope it helps :)
