Thanks Thomas for this trick.

I have redacted this /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/gsm1 file:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[connection]
id=gsm1
uuid=f5e7b733-beea-4fcb-b213-b2dfcbd61073
type=gsm
timestamp=1432623762

[gsm]
number=*99#
apn=<redacted>

[ipv6]
method=auto

[ipv4]
method=auto
--------------------------------------------------------------------
And it work as expected after a 'nmcli connection reload'.

For my curiosity, where this is documented ?
