I am using that often for sms management. It was mostly designed
for attaching feature phones to a computer and send at commands
to them works

gammu --battery also displays something.
gammu --getdatetime also works.

dunno about status in combination with recent kernels. Should
work with 3.7 or 3.12.

AFAIK it is only for handling data connections.

Qtmoko: works only with kernel 3.7.
  sms works, ussd partly (menu structures do not work)
  phone calls/answering works
  sending dtmf works
  probably also needs adaptations for newer modem firmware

simple-gsmgui (kernel 3.7, 3.12 or 4.10.x):
- phone calls/answering works 
- ussd works including menu structures
- no sending dtmf
- reacts properly on rfkill but does not do rfkill block/unblock itself

Replicant 4.2 with kernel 3.12 (or with 4.10.x with my fixes from
today):
-  phone calls/answering works
-  ussd works including menus
-  sms works

Regards,
Andreas
