The new phone I want to buy supports 4G, but has no bands for 3G or 2G on P.M.
will it matter since I don't use 3G data? Also will lack of 2G and 3G mean that I won't always have a strong signal to make and receive calls?

People will worry when they can't make/receive calls. Data will work but no calls.

Text messaging will actually work on the LTE network, but yes, 3g is required for phone calls.
