3G and 3GPP

This is not mandatory, it's depend on vendors and phone model. Many phones can support 2G, 3G and Wi-Fi at the same time.

Re: 3G and 3GPP

so you mean to say in LTE it is not mandatory. It can be a standalone GSM or WCDMA , not that it should support both
I know in 3G it is not manadatory.

Re: 3G and 3GPP

At least now LTE shall co-exist with other standards (GSM/GPRS and WCDMA/CDMA-EVDO) and should support them where LTE coverage is unavailable.
