I did the above, no luck, MM log is completely quiet when the SMS is
supposed to come in. On a hunch I booted into Windows, confirmed that
I had a bunch of unread test messages from before, then returned to
Linux and tried your steps again and sure enough I recieved the SMS
this time. While in Linux I restarted NM and MM and the SMS I received
(in Linux) was no longer visible to mmcli, though I didn't have
debugging enabled that time. Modem remained plugged in and powered the
entire time. I can always go back and try that part again, though
maybe Bjørn's logs already show that problem.
