So far I've proven out some *basic* principles (sensible checking omitted for clarity) on a python command line:

import gi
gi.require_version('ModemManager', '1.0')
from gi.repository import GLib, GObject, Gio, ModemManager
connection = Gio.bus_get_sync (Gio.BusType.SYSTEM, None)
manager = ModemManager.Manager.new_sync (connection, Gio.DBusObjectManagerClientFlags.DO_NOT_AUTO_START, None)
for obj in manager.get_objects():
   modem.get_manufacturer()
msging = obj.get_modem_messaging()
rcvd =  msging.list_sync()
for m in rcvd:
    print m.get_number(), m.get_timestamp(), '"%s"' % m.get_text()


But I have noticed that if a new SMS is then received, this doesn't get reflected in list_sync()  - I seem to have to repeat all the way back to the Manager.new_sync() instantiation for it to ripple through?
