It sounds like it is working, only sporadically. One possible reason for this is signal reception. If she is in a building or other structure (even some cars) her phone may not be able to receive GPS signals, and possibly also not be able to connect to a telephone service. Poor signal reception from GPS can often lead to poor location determination.
