My iphone is often in a zone without data communication but SMS is working. If I loose it there I cannot find it with "find my" since it uses data com. Is there a way of texting it and get its GPS coordinates?

Nope, you will need a data connection or if there is a different Apple device within bluetooth range that does have a connection, it will transmit the location of your device. Check with your cell provider for their coverage area.

The device is trackable using the find my network. Someone with an iPhone with the find my network enabled and a data connection would have to pass within bluetooth range for it to report it's position.
Can I locate a lost iPhone using SMS services?
