Before you do flashing experiments, you could try more distros. I would at least give Manjaro Phosh a try and see how it goes, they are pretty up to date on stuff. Some people have reported problems with sending SMS and could get it to work by switching go 2G only in the settings before sending. Maybe that works for you too. If nothing works, I would open an issue on the bug tracker of the distro of your choice and hope someone with more technical knowledge can help you out on there.I highly doubt this is a hardware problem if the modem is otherwise functional.
If you do decide to flash the alternative firmware at some point (which by the way is also safer than the stock firmware as sudden power loss can't corrupt the modem), you can also revert back to the stock firmware later.
