That's an interesting idea. You might be able to use the console connector present on every SIM board to capture the same packets that are sent out on radio - *if* it's only the original radio that's dead. The only issue is the power consumption of the ESP32. Whatever ULP mode it has, WiFi will always consume orders of magnitude higher than an RFM module.
