    Yes. I seem to remember that the application that came with those mobile sticks in Windows had some sort of application for it. And here is a website talking about doing it in a raspberry pi using a terminal. Might depend on the brand though, the only ones I've ever used were re-badged Huawei.

    What model is the broadband modem that you are using ? Most of them can be accessed by typing http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar at the top of a browser . If it's a plug in usb stick it may be different to access them but it's defo possible I used to get texts on my plug in USB modem .

    My current one is a wifi one and if I type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar it will bring up the modem dashboard where I can see signal levels texts and settings.
