I can only follow up to what Lukas wrote.  We can trace anything that
ever hits the ME - SIM interface.  But which phones might or might not
forward silent messages to the SIM remains an open question.

My personal educated guess would be that it is probably not sent to the
sim in the majority of the cases/phones.  SMS on the SIM is an ancient
relic, and then in the case of silent SMS, if the phone knows it shall
discard it, why first push it to the SIM...

Regards,
