Explaining why there's no data available isn't bug 1235120 (that's about
showing progress), it's bug 1275761. The design for the latter may
include inviting you to enter System Settings to fix the problem.

Even if it doesn't, though, I strongly disagree that there should be any
way of retrying a cellular data connection that is more prominent than
System Settings. It should be entirely automatic. If you feel like you
aren't in control, I suspect that you're seeking a workaround to bugs
that need fixing anyway.

If your choice of GSM network when you visit a different country isn't
remembered, fix that.

And if the selected network becomes too weak for a data connection, but
later resumes being strong enough, and the phone doesn't reconnect
automatically, fix that.

Title:
  [phone] No way to force a retry of GSM data connection

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  New
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When in spotty coverage areas, the GSM data connection sometimes fails, and due to bug #1235120 there's no feedback on why there's no network available.
  There's also no way to force a retry of the data connection other than toggling flight mode or the data connection type in cellular settings.

  I would feel more in control if the GSM connections would be listed in
  the network menu with the ability to switch to one of them (so being
  able to switch data SIMs in a dual-SIM phone without going to
  settings). Currently they're some magic connections that supposedly
  work by themselves, but this assumption breaks when they stop working.
