Looks like it should be in ~/.local/share/modem-manager-gui/devices/ID/sms.gdbm

Modem Manager GUI creates a database named sms.gdbm to store all the SMS details.

GDBM is a simple light database, or perhaps better called "storage". It is just basically a way to store simple key-value pairs of any kind. It has no other structure as may be found in a traditional database, only keys and values.

To view or export the data, you could use the tool gdbmtool. The gdbmtool export command will export the database to a flat file, and is basically equivalent to the gdbm_dump command.

For writing your own application in C, if you are so motivated, some starting references are:

  • Do I need to write app in C in order to use gdbm? I was thinking of writing it in NodeJS for convenience.

  • No, you don't need to, if the above standard utilities are enough.
