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.

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.
