In laimans terms, it can send coordinates, not recieve.

The "A" in AGPS stands for Assisted, not Asynchronous. No GPS device is capable of "speaking" to GPS satelites. GPS satelites only transmit a time code, they don't receive anything (except instructions from the military, but that's a completely different matter). What AGPS means is that the phone needs a cellular signal in order to receive a GPS fix.
I'm wondering what sort of magic you think goes on in the phone that makes it capable of sending coordinates that it doesn't even have, since you say it cannot receive the coordinates in the first place.
