So the short answer is: You're not supposed to even have negative numbers in AT 
commands.  And since oFono follows 27.007, which is itself based on AT commands, 
negative numbers do not really exist at the API level.

Refer to ITU v.250 Section 5.4.2.1 "Numeric constants".  Strings are also 
supposed to be formatted in a certain way, which the firmware isn't doing 
properly either...  The fact that you have to resort to using 
next_unquoted_string is kind of telling.

I would guess your best bet would be to re-scale from what Gemalto firmware 
reports into something that 27.007 recommends.  You may have to refer to 27.007, 
Section 8.69 to see what the scale is according to 3GPP.
