Ah, thanks, that wasn't obvious from the picture, and the picture was
the only change included in the mail.  The patch wasn't attached, only
a link to a pull request.  I read offline.

Does the patch choose a default mobile provider?  There is one selected
in the picture.  I have now looked at the patch, and cannot find a default.

The text is very long, perhaps it should wrap as it does here:

or is it not wrapped so as to avoid scroll bar?

Of course.  I do suggest that this text be updated, though not as part
of this feature.
