There are several reasons why occasionally you will get 2G signal in a 3G ready area. With wireless communications the surroundings can often impact the signal strength. For example, 2G can sometimes be strongest and better suited to provide the most optimal call quality inside buildings, and the network will then switch the signal between 2G and 3G.
