If they didn't you would not be able to get a lock at all no matter what. Not even for a second. But using a-gps as well which allows you to use cell towers in addition to the gps chip, it offers a quicker lock and supposedly more acurate spotting.

So once again, you do not need to have service to use your gps in your phone. Period.
Well tommorow i will stand outside for 30 min instead 15 min and see if i get a lock on my deactivated Diamond PS Check your PM
