I've been trying to find something similar that works on iPhone, but haven't been successful. The apps I've found either allows someone to text their location to others easily, or requires the person to click a link or do so some other action in response to a text message requesting their location.

So in brief, I need an app that will:
-use SMS only for communication
-return gps coordinates
-require no interaction on the user's part.

Does such a thing exist?
Well it's not exactly what you are looking for but could you just use find my iPhone? You wouldn't have to text her, just load it up on the app.

Edit: looks like it would have to be connected to wifi for it to work.
