Sounds good.

Yes, I understand my post lacks of details. I tried to solve the problem
myself and I think it works.

I crafted the following settings in my ~/.gnokiirc file:

####################################
[global]
port = /dev/ttyACM1
model = AT
connection = serial
use_locking = no
serial_baudrate = 19200

[xgnokii]
allow_breakage = 0

[gnokiid]
bindir = /usr/sbin/

[logging]
debug = on
rlpdebug = on
xdebug = on
####################################

The F3507g module is visible in the system as 3 devices,
I suppose it's because the module has built-in GPS, so
there is a dedicated interface to talk it which is separate
from GSM interface.

Initially, I tried with /dev/ttyACM0 and I was getting:

##############################################################

##############################################################

I changed to /dev/ttyACM1 and also set use_locking=no and
it looks everything works well:

I can also send SMS and I tried to dial numbers too.

Apparently, the GSM module does not have any memory built-in
but it's possible to can access some of the GSM services with gnokii.
So, great and thanks for gnokii!
