SIM800L Factory Reset

When my microcontroller boots up, it keeps the Reset pin of the SIM800L low until it needs to use the module. Then it sets the Reset pin high and waits 8 seconds for all the unsolicited messages to come in "RDY +CFUN=1 SMS Ready Call Ready".

To ease the debugging process and also just to minimise surprises, I want to factory reset the SIM800L every time I bring it out of reset.

I see on Github some people using "AT&FZ" to do a factory reset, but this command seems to be undocumented in the datasheet. Another option I think is to call "AT&F" to impose the factory settings, and then to follow it with "AT&W_SAVE" to overwrite the persistent storage.

Anyone got any documentation on "AT&FZ"? Should I instead use "AT&F" with "AT&W_SAVE"?
