I'll add another one, that is an issue when traveling:

- Having an app store account of the country you are visiting.

Some of this apps are geo restricted and can't be downloaded with foreign app store accounts. Sometimes they can't process foreign cards or foreign phone numbers.

While on holiday in the States for the first time recently I actually changed my Play Store country to be able to download some US specific parking app, not knowing that I apparently have to wait a full year before I can change my country again (I don't remember reading this during the process).

Explaining this to Google Play and Google One customer support led to nothing, they just told me to wait out the full year essentially. I'm just stuck with it for now.

Full Year?! Good to know, and perhaps at this point, a burner phone is the best choice for overseas travel.
