Open the modem to check if it has a serial interface before threw usb interface.

I am working on a similar project. I am trying to use Huawei E169 (USB dongle) to send and receive SMS, however first the E169 (GSM modem) diver must be installed on your mbed then you can use AT command to send and receive SMS.

Please keep posting on the progress of your project.
