Looks like a question for ModemManager-devel mailing list? Or is the
question specific to a MBIM issue?

Anyway, ModemManager doesn't automatically remove any SMS. We just end
up showing the SMS objects in DBus, managing them (e.g. removing) is
up to the user. It's true, though, that we should also expose in DBus
the status of each storage (e.g. if it's full or not). We don't do
that right now.

The issue with MBIM is that the storages are hidden in the API.
ModemManager assumes there's a single "MT" combined storage when a
MBIM modem is used. We also don't implement Sms.Store() for MBIM
modems. I didn't dig much further, is there no error indication when
the storage gets full?
