warn user about unencrypted GSM/UMTS-Connection
GSM has seen a lot of security breaches in the past (A5/1 is no longer considered secure), and independent research has shown that there are a lot of problems in the GSM standard. I know that the Jolla can't fix all of them, but it would be nice to warn the user if the connection is not encrypted at all (typical sign for the usage of an IMSI-Catcher).
It would also be nice to to see what cipher is in use at the moment (This should be an option to turn on, not everybody is interested in that information).

The time passed. Whether there is such an option, or will it?
