If you're running in Direct IP mode, ModemManager will use AT commands
over a serial port AND a WWAN network interface for data. You will be
able to do SMS messaging and network connectivity at the same time, as
the serial port isn't used for connection.

If you're running in QMI mode, you will also be able to do SMS messaging
and connectivity at the same time. Connection will go through the WWAN
network interface, and the SMS messaging commands via QMI and the
/dev/cdc-wdm port (not a TTY).
