Genki probably just meant that it isn't necessary to use か and ? together.
Just a note, while you can say ケイタイ?, it is quite common to use short questions which are noun + particle (verb drops off)
A: あ、田中くんからメールが来た!
B(1): 田中?
B(2): え、田中から?
B(3): 田中か...
I may be talking at least partial nonsense here, but to me, B(1) sounds like the speaker either didn't hear the name properly or doesn't know who A is talking about and is asking for clarification. B(2) implies the speaker does know who they're talking about but is mildly surprised that Tanaka sent A an email. B(3) isn't really asking a question of A at all (depends on tone, of course), but more talking to themselves (similar to そういうことか).
