Set you network selection to auto
AT+COPS=0

Get current functionality status
AT+CFUN?

Set to airplane mode
AT+CFUN=0

Switch on signal receivers
AT+CFUN=1

Show SIM status
AT+CSCS?

Am I connected to a network or not
AT+CREG?

Show signal strength
AT+CSQ

Show service center number
AT+CSCA?

Set messages to Text mode
AT+CMGF=1

Read all messages
