If a SIM slot with no signal is selected as the default SIM then replying via the indicator fails silently

[Brendan Donegan]

Prerquisites:

The 'For messages use' option in System Settings Cellular panel should be set to a slot that contains a SIM card with no signal

Steps to reproduce:

1. Send a message to the SUT (with the messaging-app closed)
2. Wait for the snap notification to disappear
3. Open the messaging indicator and press anywhere on the message (except on the message icon which will open the messaging app)
4. Enter your reply in the text field that appears (keeping in mind that there may be a bug that stops the Send button from being enabled if the keyboard is in the middle of autocorrecting a word)
5.) Hit the send button when it is enabled

Expected result:

I'm either informed that sending failed because the SIM had no signal, or better, offered the option to rectify this by choosing a SIM for that action.

Actual result:

The message disappears from the menu, the same as if it was successfully sent, but it was not successfully sent (as it was not received on the other end).

Note that if the 'For messages use' option is set to nothing, or 'Ask me each time' then the user will be prompted to choose a SIM

Reassigning to the components that actually send the message.
