SIM900 alternative

Hi all,
I am currently working on a project that uses GSM-GPRS to communication to send certain data at certain rate. however, SIM900 is very slow and I have to delay the commands otherwise, it won't be able to keep up with the data stream required.
is there any GSM-GPRS module that supports SPI protocol ?
I think with SPI, I will be able to get better results due to fact that SPI is much faster at rate of 4MHz

regards

Do you think your data is being choked by UART/SPI/I2C, or by GPRS?

If you get crappy GPRS, no local communication bus can save you.

You need an LTE module. Consider SIM7000G.

the data is being chocked by UART not the communication between SIM900 and the server since I have to send just a string which contains only about 60 characters

any help ?

So you don't really care how fast it goes to the server, but you absolutely want those 60 characters to get to the modem as fast as possible???? Why?

in case if the internet went down, I need to send thousands of those strings to the server as fast as possible
so, needing a faster  communication between SIM and ESP32 is a must at least I can send a certain data and don't have to wait for a response from the SIM module.
All I need just to tell me if the end server reports 200 or other case.
