No. I don't know of anywhere that a 2G network is still available to use. Some still operate it for emergency calls but that's it.

You can deploy your own 2g base station with openbts and some cheap software-defined radio hardware. Don't crank up the signal though so you won't run afoul with the government agencies that regulate radio spectrum in your country.
