I think this would be a good feature to have on the Ubuntu Phone. Some may get charged a lot for over use of MB/GB data usage.

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.
