This library implement sim800 for transparent tcp connection and do other things when transparent is active is not possible.
But after a switch Between Data Mode to Command Mode The manual report:
ATO command can be used to switch the module from command mode to data mode if the
connection is active, and CONNECT will be returned again.
so you can try :
sim800Client::transparentescape()
.... do somethings
....
sim800Client::transparent()
but the time from transparentescape and transparent cannot exceed :
// MQTT_KEEPALIVE : keepAlive interval in Seconds
#define MQTT_KEEPALIVE 30
in PubSubClient.h Please report here if this works.
There are other modes to do tcp connection with sim800; multi connection mode
Multi Connection
To enable multi connection mode, the command AT+CIPMUX must be set to 1. Be aware
that in the multi connection mode, SIM800 series only supports non-transparent mode. Due to this
matter, the command AT+CIPMODE is invalid under multi connection mode.
In multi connection mode, SIM800 series can work as a TCP/UDP client or a TCP server.
As a client, it can establish 6 connections to remote server in total, both TCP and UDP.
Multi connection is not implemented in this library.
For other functionality take a look at SIM800 Series_TCPIP_Application

How to handle incoming call and short message in data mode
Thanks a lot @pat1 for the detailed answer.
If i need to check sms or signal strength while connected to mqtt serevr on sim800 I have to issue escape sequence and this will disconnect me from serevr!
I need to check for incoming calls and sms and at times for signal strength or CREG . I haven't used sim800 a lot for data before so my pardon me if its a silly question!
