As far as I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it would require local access or your mobile network operator to be compromised with a malicious insider, generally I think the risk is limited albeit possible. Given the prevalence of these devices we will soon hear if there's real world exploits. Notably, I do not see the exploit published anywhere either. I'm not saying it is safe, although I would not be turning off my mobile data given the risk here.
