Bug Description
In case NM has failed to open any mobile data context, it will not re-try when rebooting the phone.
This happened with a pre-paid SIM with no credit: opening a data context for it obviously failed. After adding credit to the SIM, I followed the instructions from the operator to reboot the phone to get data. However, after rebooting I had no mobile data. Taking a look to system settings, cellular data was set to "Off" and I was able to revert the situation marking the "2G/3G/4G" option. Make NM retry the list of contexts in case no context was ever active on previous boot would make life easier for the user.

Please add version info for NetworkManager and an image # as this is a phone-specific bug, not a desktop bug.
Can you also please add a condensed version of the syslog containing the NetworkManager messages and ofono's gprs settings file?
Also, if you can come up with an easy set of steps to reproduce that would be helpful. I think it might be possible to simulate this by using a broken APN ( ie. an APN with an invalid name ), then stopping network-manager, fixing the APN and rebooting.
