You can set the 'class' when creating an SMS with ModemManager 0.7/0.8.
To send binary data instead of text, use the 'data' property instead of
the 'text' property when creating the SMS, which works in all versions
of MM.  Receipt of these messages should work in most cases, if it
doesn't we can surely debug.
