I continued my research today. On what minicom is concerned you have to use the CTRL key in combination with other keys and it seems that it is not working on the native terminal emulator of Manjaro Plasma mobile, so you can not exit properly.
The manual is not to be read as a novel, you just look up the specific category of commands according to the actions you want to take.
If your modem is working properly you can also use the symbolic link /dev/EG25.MODEM which is aware of the correct device.
Executing certain commands results to a disconnection of the modem from the Plasma environment and though it seems dead, if you call it you can hear it ringing through the calling device and you will see the message "RING" in the minicom terminal.
Some commands may return an error but if you exit and connect again with minicom they work.
It seems a quite complicated situation, today I tried listing the networks, LTE scanning and changing the frequencies but I didn't yet arrive to a successful result.
the first command scans for LTE networks, the second lists all the operators your SIM can connect.
The commands are quite cryptic sometimes but you can find examples at m2msupport.net, for example
https://m2msupport.net/m2msupport/atcops...selection/
at the end of the manual you can find what the error codes mean.
Another way to manipulate the modem is from the terminal through the mmcli command but you must first start the modem manager service from another terminal, for example
Good luck and if you reach the solution write it here.
