If you want to send/receive sms using your prepaid number via Broadband Modem in Ubuntu, there is modem-manager-gui application available.

We can install modem-manager-gui using ubuntu software manager or via command line using :

sudo apt install modem-manager-gui

modem manager gui

Limitation :

  • This application work with my edge/umts/hspa modem, but doesn't work with my cdma/evdo modem.
  • No 'call' menu.

Summary from their website :

Modem Manager GUI is frontend for ModemManager daemon able to control specific modem functions. Main features:

  • GTK3 interface
  • Send and receive SMS messages with messages concatenation.
  • Send USSD request and receive answer in system encoding.
  • Get modem and SIM information (Device info, Operator name, Mode, IMEI, IMSI/ESN, Signal level)
  • Scan available mobile networks
  • Control data transmission process and set session traffic and time limits
