This is the kind of thing that is decided by the modem, where we have no
control. Certainly, I have not seen any phone where you can do either A
or B. When there is no signal for the manually selected provider, the
modem switches to other available networks.

If data in roaming is disabled, you should not incur in unexpected
costs.

Title:
  Cannot lock to a given cellular network provider

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in ofono package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On bq4.5 I would like to manually lock to a given signal provider.
  current behaviour: can manually select provider A but the the phone jumps very soon to a stronger signal from provider B and I get roaming. On border areas that can be very expensive.

  desired behaviour: manually selected provider A should be kept even when when signal lost and other providers available.
  possible variant: be able to define signal strength threshold when the switch to provider B is allowed.
