Bug Description

See attached screenshot. I have these options in a roaming SIM:

<<
Automatically [ Orange ] [Checked]
vodafone ES
Yoigo
movistar
>>

There is no option to stick to "Orange" network, so I could switch after a while to, say, "movistar", while I would have liked to be registered always to "Orange". IMHO carrier settings should show:

<<
Automatically [ Orange ] [Checked]
Orange
vodafone ES
Yoigo
movistar
>>

so can switch to Orange in manual mode.

I see however a workaround: switching first to one of the other operators makes the option to manually force registration to Orange appear, but this seems far from ideal, as you need to register first in a network different to your preferred one.
