As a developer in Europe, moving across countries isn't a particularly crazy pattern I believe :)

Also in some countries keeping your number isn't cheap. And even when it's technically easy, your phone plan might be provided by your employer, in this case it might be very tricky to get your number migrated when you change jobs.

And i highly assume we are a growing amount of people (remote working and actually moving). We may be a rare edge case now, but may aint in a few years anymore.

And yes keeping my phone number as it was would cost me $80/month. With a provider i hated like the pest.
