What happens to Line app if I change SIMs temporarily? The Line support pages say: "As LINE is designed to verify your account using your phone number and device, your account details will be reset by changing or taking out your sim card." But they don't explain what "reset" means, and a friend of mine does this regularly on his iPhone and says he has no problem.

Anyone done this with android?

Nothing as far as I can tell but it may friend on how your account is set up. I live in the uk and use line here. When in Thailand I have a local sim and my old contacts remain. I do however have my account tied to my email address so that may be an option. Not sure what happens if it's tied to your SIM. Could be like whatsapp where the app asks you if you want to associate your new number with the app in which case I just select no.

You can continue using old Line account with the new SIM. But just to be sure, why not register your line account with your email? That way, you can even access LINE from PCs.
