Bug Description
When a dual SIM handset is used with both SIMs inserted, the user will be prompted to select a default for voice and sms traffic, but not for data (bug #1379412).
It is a market requirement for launches with some partners for this preference to be a user choice before first use.
I believe this means we need a card in the first-boot wizard, that would be active whenever two SIMs are found during that boot (whatever network state they are in).

When we were discussing bug #1379412, it was clear that the desired behaviour was for the phone to be as automatic as possible, and infer the users choice from the state of the SIM registrations/
Whilst this might suit some users in some markets, other markets have clear rules that this choice must be made by the user.
I imagine that this might require some care, so if the user selects a locked sim, there must be some option later (perhaps from the indicators) to unlock the sim. I believe this functionality is present, so the only requirement is to express a preference when first booted with two SIMs inserted.
