No. Most dealers will sell you a SIM card for about $30.

What carrier are they on?

You can always donate them to an organization that uses old phones for
911 access for the elderly and other at-risk people.

Or you can save one of them for use as a spare phone if you have to
send one of your new ones in for repair/replacement.
