So then do:

for ( ; ; ++p )
            while(SerialSimGsm.available())
            {
                if ( p >= &buf[sizeof(buf) - 1u] ) break;
                p[0u] = SerialSimGsm.read();
                p[1u] = '\0';
                unsigned const len = std::strlen(buf);
                char *ending = nullptr;
                if ( nullptr != (ending = std::strstr(buf, "\r\n")) )
                {
                    ending[0u] = '\0';
                    ending[1u] = '\0'; // Overwrite the "\r\n" with "\0\0"
                    if ( ending != buf ) this->ProcessInput();
                    buf[0u] = '\0';
                    p = buf;
                }
                break;
            }
