Hi Nick, If your using c/c++ consider looking into the library ModemManager exposes, this is how mmcli works (https://cgit.freedesktop.org/ModemManager/ModemManager/tree/libmm-glib). It handles the dbus calls for you and just exposes some nice c code wrappers. In your case you should look at how 'mm-modem-signal.c' works and consider linking the library and including the libmm-glib.h header.
If you're using another language you could also use dbus to access information from ModemManager directly, you can read up more on dbus here (https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus/). For all the API's exposed by ModemManager via dbus you can checkout the API doc page (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/ModemManager/api/latest/). Python has a very nice dbus support library and there are lot's of examples online. Hope that helps.
