Hey all!

I have been using a Bq Aquaris E4.5 phone as my daily driver for more
than 10 months and I really love it. Last month my mother's phone was
broken, so we needed to look for a new one. And we've bought a Bq
Aquaris E5 to her. She really likes it. The only problem is that she has
a SIM card with a very low amount of mobile data (50MB) and she easily
runs out of this limit if she doesn't turned mobile data off when she
doesn't use it. But on the Network Indicator there are switches only for
Airplane mode, WiFi and Hotspot, there isn't any for Mobile data. So she
needs to open System Settings everytime when she wants to enable or
disable it. Is there a reason behind the decision to there's no switch
for this purpose? If no, could you provide a switch for mobile data on
this indicator too? She and I would really pleased. Thanks.

p.s.: Thanks everyone for you hard work.

Title:
  [indicators] Impossible to disable cellular data from indicator

Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Triaged
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I was wondering : Why it isn't possible to disable data from the
  network indicator ? Probably with a switch button that offer the
  choice between no data or data activated (with the last data activated
  state (2g only or 2G,3G,4G).

  Why this ? Because it's the first setting to change to save battery,
  and probably one of the most used (I asked around me, everyone agreed
  they would prefer that over Wi-Fi if only one was possible).

  I think it's stupid to go to the settings app for the most common
  action (and very frustrating). Of course, this also apply for the
  battery setting page (that already contain Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and
  brightness settings).

  I asked that on the phone ML, I've been invited to file a wishlist bug
  there to "help" designers with next iteration of network indicator. So
  here it is !
