1. Forget "MS-Comm control" exists (unless you program something in VB). Use Windows API to program serial communications, it is not so complicated: see this example.
2. To read information from modem you will need to use AT commands, so you will need to find and read documentation about AT commands your modem supports.
3. To read the phone no. from SIM card the AT command AT+CNUM is used. Note that not all providers support this command. Note also that before sending it you must properly activate your modem and SIM card.
