I am using a Huawei E3531 with a new SIM card and empty Micro SD. I have also attempted a Nokia Symbian Phone, and some generic Qualcom device.
After some forum digging I managed to get my Huawei to connect me to the internet fine, however what I actually wanted to use it for was receiving SMS.
I am attempting to use ModemManager and ModemManager Gui to do this.
Only once did ModemManager Gui display my Huawei which was after running
modeprobe option
It only showed it for a few minutes and shortly after disappeared again, the command no longer produces the same result.
The modem only started connecting to the internet after doing:
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-axe027.rules
And inputting:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-axe027.rules
# contains axe027 udev rule to patch default
# FTDI product id to AXE027 product id (0xbd90)
SYSFS{idProduct}=="12d1",
SYSFS{idVendor}=="1f01",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe -q ftdi_sio product=0x12d1 vendor=0x1f01"
Which was generously provided by this forum post.
usb-devices
result for the correct device produces:

D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=02(commc) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=14dc Rev=01.02

I: If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.) Sub=06 Prot=50 Driver=usb-storage
Now the important part: the result of sudo systemctl status ModemManager

I've been looking for a solution for a couple days now and no luck :(
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
I may attempt to draw an image based on the username of the most helpful answer (depending on whether or not my graphics tablet works in Ubuntu...)
