Find my friends app should work for tracking and is built into many phones, but as alluded to, needs a sim.
But I'm also not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve. If it's just tracking, I think there's more cost efficient options for that.

An iPhone 5S is still worth a few hundred bucks. With your financial situation in mind, maybe consider selling the phone? This thing for $300 CAD includes 2 years of tracking, geo-fencing, real time app etc. everything you need except maybe a walkie talkie sort of feature.
There are also other similar devices out there similar to the above ranging from watches and other wearable accessories. Few have built in sim cards with inexpensive data plans like the Trax play.
