I haven't played with Linux for half a decade and this is Manjaro KDE, not my old Debian system I ran KDE on (in spite of them basically being GNOME based... I digress.)
My question is this...how can I set up ANY SMS? Do I still need to hold onto my 2 year old Android phone JUST to get SMS? I jumped on board thinking that THIS had the capability of my old desktop in a phone, or at least something resembling my 2014'ish desktop.
You can either switch to another OS (I personally think Ubuntu Touch is most ready), or you can install a utility app for the modem. While it is a utility, it can receice and send SMS, and you will get notification from it that a SMS has been received. I just don't recall the name of it now. Maybe someone else knows.
