Connecting to a SIM card won't be enough, you need a modem to transfer data. I think most GRPS modems can use a RS232 interface, so then you can use a standard UART.

Do you really need a wireless connection? Because a regular Ethernet interface is easier to use and more documented when done with FPGAs.
