Yes they do..as its most efficientbut was pointing out that a 4g tower is a lot smaller then a 3g one..so while a 4g tower can be mounted on top of a 3g one does not necessarily mean there are no standalone towers..

Ironically sprint actually put on their website an indicator showing if your in an area where 4g will go through walls or not..I live in a 4g area and had 4g in my old house.after I moved even though Im in a 4g area..I'm now in one of the small pocket holes without 4g...FML
