I am not quite ready to try this, but in going through the motion I found today with sudo mmcli -L that my modem is no longer 0, but is 6. (which explains why I was getting error message of not finding the modem, even though my phone voice and data were both working.) So then I continue to check and see if i have any large sms that usually means someone sent me a mms without me knowing. Literally, within the same hour, with sudo mmcli -i 6 , I get the error message that there is no SIM found. OK, so I did another sudo mmcli -L , and what do you know, it is now 7, not 6.
Not 100% sure but it sounds like your modem is improperly power cycling and the kernel is seeing it as a new device every time the modem power cycles without seeing the "old" one turning off. Maybe this is a bug when you are toggling mobile service/data on and off? Mine is consistently 0.
If that is the case maybe the script needs to check for the modem over a sequence from 0-10?
So I updated and upgraded after posting the above. After rebooting, sudo mmcli -L is back to 0. I think whatever happened had happened yesterday already. Maybe updating had fixed it. But, yes, prior to this my modem had also been consistently 0.
