Google has an annoying security feature on Android phones- every time you change the SIM card, you have to log into Google again. So, no Gmail, no Play Store, etc. until you log back in.

Of course, Google sees and IMSI change as a change of SIM card.

This is a particular pain for people like myself who use two-step authentication. You have to use a non-memorable Google generated "application specific password."
