As Sergio mentioned earlier today, data roaming should work.  If it's 
not, then filing a bug against the ofono package in Ubuntu would be a 
good place to start.

Can you clarify what you mean by "But when selected, no data connection 
is created"?  Did you mean that when both "cellular data" and "data 
roaming" are selected, or are you referring to selecting a carrier? 
Manual carrier selection shouldn't be possible from the UI, as it's not 
yet been implemented at a lower-level.

Again as mentioned above, data roaming should work.

If data works when non-roaming, but fails to automatically work when 
roaming ( when configured to do so ), please file a bug against ofono ( 
Ubuntu ):

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ofono/+filebug

One question, do you know whether or not your SIM card is from a primary 
operator ( eg. Orange, T-Mobile US, Telefonica, ... ) or a MVNO ( eg. 
Straightalk in the US )?

MVNOs are tricky, and sometimes require manual updates to the APN 
settings ( the UI for which is currently a work-in-progress, currently 
getting some UI design love ).

Lastly, ofono logs messages to the standard syslog ( /var/log/syslog ). 
The command "grep ofonod /var/log/syslog" is a quick way to extract 
these messages, which can be very useful when diagnosing telephony problems.
