Hey,

This totally looks like a common issue in MBIM modems, where there is
no way to select the current SMS storage. I've seen cases where the
MBIM API works with one storage (e.g. SIM storage) and the device is
configured to use another by default (e.g. modem storage), so at the
end one ends up full and hidden to the MBIM API. If your device can
work with some other protocol (QMI, AT?) then you could try emptying
all storages using that other protocol.
