In /var/log/syslog you should be able to see ofono/nm log messages about 
failing to activate contexts.

This toggle does work for me, and believe me, you want it disabled most 
of the time ;-) The click scope needs some work to not re download 
everytime. I'm logging a bug as soons as I get my phone bill ;-) Other 
scopes do the same, but apps is then lens I access the most.

It does work as long as the apn context can be activated abroad. That 
said, we are currently discussing mms, apn selection and creation.

If your specific apn didn't work and everything else you did seemed 
right, against ofono; you will need to provide ofono logs to make the 
bug useful and not fall into forget land.

The other things I'm mostly sure are tracked under blueprints so a bug 
is not necessary (it's a future feature)
