It's not 5 lines, unless you want *anyone* to be able to get your
current GPS coordinates by simply texting you "sentry:location".
and to be able to make u spend a lot of money by sending you that message
again and again. Point 2. could be great to disrupt your most important
meetings or, why not, bother you while you're having sex.

The sms would have to be crypted or signed, for which a password or
public key would have to be stored in the phone first.

And if you do it in Haskell (am I the only person in the world using Haskell
to write code for the FR?), that would be around 6 lines :)
