Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Hi. I see there is a ESPHome integration for the SIM800L to send SMS txt messages..... Unfortunately the SIM800L uses the 2G network, which is being removed..... Is there any support for the SIM7600 or similar board to use the 3G / 4G network to send / receive txt messages using ESPHome running on a Wemos D1 mini or ESP32, etc ?

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

As above

Research direction

The request mentions the existing SIM800L integration and target hardware such as SIM7600, Wemos D1 mini, and ESP32, but names no files or tests. Start by examining how the SIM800L integration handles SMS, then determine the required 3G/4G send and receive behavior; done would mean documented support for that workflow on the requested hardware.
