Systems and method provide for cell reconfirmation methods for a multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) capable User Equipment (UE). A method for performing a cell reconfirmation method by a multi-Radio Access Technology (RAT) capable User Equipment (UE), the method includes: performing, by the UE, cell reconfirmation using information derived from a Normal Burst (NB) of a transmitted Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) radio signal, wherein the cell reconfirmation verifies an identity of a GSM cell associated with the transmitted GSM radio signal. The method can further include: operating the multi-RAT capable UE in a serving cell of a first RAT; and selecting the cell reconfirmation method to reconfirm a Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication neighbor cell located in a second RAT which is a GSM RAT, wherein a first cell reconfirmation method uses a received Normal Burst (NB) and a second cell reconfirmation method uses a received Synchronization Burst (SB).
