Andriod phone's ip often change, is this a sign of some bad hackers trying to do somethng on my phone?

Last time I used to use andriod phone to surf internet. I check it's ip. and found that the ip often change by itself. On average, It changed every 2 or 3 hours. Just don't understand why it need to change every 2 or 3 hours. Is it a sign that some bad hackers trying to do something on my android phone? Feel paranoid so I disable the phone's data (2g/3g) function and don't use it to connect internet anymore.

    Depending on your Service Provider, they may change your IP address automatically based on your location or the time of the day. Hackers would not need to change your IP address due to the need for them to have a consistent IP address to access your data through.
