I have a laptop on which I run Ubuntu 18.04, the laptop has a built-in sim slot and I have a sim card that I use for mobile broadband.
Is there any software that I can use to send and receive sms messages, using the sim card that I also use for internet?

Mobile Broadband devices typically can't send SMS messages, they're designed to only use data. I have several systems with Mobile Broadband cards, but they don't have SMS capability in the mobile broadband card/firmware/software to do SMS messages.

ofonowould be the necessary back-end piece to send/receive SMS. However, as already mentioned if your SIM is a data-only card, you won't be able to, not having a phone number assigned to it.

hi :) yes, sure. I have installed a software called 'Modem Manager GUI' and this has - out of the box - the functionality I was looking for. I have just configured my mobile broadband, and after that, once you install the software it will just recognize the broadband connection. from within the software interface I can send and receive sms massages, it has a USSD functionality (I wasn't able to have this working, so far) and I can also see a traffic statistic that looks pretty nice.
