I'm on T-mobile and my old phone definitely stopped working when they
shut off 3G here.  Is it possible that the phone didn't have 2G?

Possibly, or 2G only on the same frequencies as 3G, and those were
then repurposed.

I can run older and smaller distros on those machines reasonably well, I
think.  That's fine for text editing but it's not so feasible to browse
the web with them.

That probably depends on the part of the web that you want to browse.

It's also hard to get PATA solid state disks for
them

In the meantime, yes.  I have an iBook G4 (from 2004) that killed two
HDDs, so I eventually replaced it with an SSD.  At that time (maybe
2010) PATA SSDs were available.  Some still are

and also near the prices of the time
