super cheap DIY GPS-tracker?

Just an idea - nowadays 3G modems cost nearly nothing with their free plans for few months. So I guess it has main chip which can accept AT-Commands like:

AT
OK
AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGW="+85291234567"
> A simple demo of SMS text messaging.
+CMGW: 1

OK
AT+CMSS=1
+CMSS: 20

And we already have GPS on the plane - so why not to try and send GPS coordinates via this modem? Right now I'm out of tools and far away from home, but when I get back I'll try it =)

 

Any suggestions?
