The mobile operators uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is an application layer protocol which is used to assign an IP address to the devices which are connected to its network newly and also assigns reusable IP addresses to the mobile devices.

This depends entirely on what they are connected to. By default, no. Most Android devices are configured for DHCP for wireless networks and I don't know of any carriers that assign static IP addresses to mobile devices on their data networks.
