It is not finished yet, but quite usable if you speak English (not
translated yet) and if you know how to clone a git repo and compile
ModemManager youself:

1. Clone git://gitorious.org/aleksander/modemmanager.git
2. Checkout 'libmm' branch
3. Compile and install
4. mmcli --help-all

I attach the output of the --help-all command so that you can check what
it currently does.

I temporarily halted its development because we're planning to move to a
new DBus API, so it's a bit useless to keep writing it when we know the
API will change soon.

Anyway, maybe it's worth to merging it like it is? Even if not fully
functional, it already allows doing some things.

Cheers,
