Yes, via ModemManager. But if your card only supports one serial port, you won't get signal strength while connected. There are methods (GSM port multiplexing) to split a single port up into multiple ports to allow this, but that's dependent on whether the firmware at the other end implements that standard; some do, many don't. CDMA users are likely out of luck on this count, only one port is normally available for AT commands while the additional ttys almost always use vendor specific proprietary protocols that haven't been adequately reverse engineered.
