There are versions of Android without cell data in the quick toggles?
Wild.

Every Android device I've tried had it, and usually in more than one
convenient place.  Like one which pulls down from the top bar, one in a
toggle rack which can be placed on a desktop, etc.  Ubuntu doesn't have
desktop widgets, but it could still go in the top bar pull-down area.
Sometimes tapping it only toggles data, sometimes it toggles
2G/3G/4G/off, sometimes it toggles calls+data, calls-only, or no cell
radio.  Sometimes holding it brings up the cell settings menu, sometimes
holding it brings up traffic accounting, sometimes holding it brings up
the widget UI config tool.

It might be a common expectation for Ubuntu to have something similar.

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

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in Ubuntu UX:

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 !
