Usually a SIM card can be used for a long time without any problem. However, the sim card in a basic phone stopped working suddenly , it was working at 7.30 am and one hour later it stopped working suddenly. Has anyone else faced the same problem of SIM suddenly not getting detected?

I have not faced such an issue before. In our country, it is mandatory to register your SIM card to prevent it from getting deactivated. Also, to add a layer of security.
Sometimes there is no service and it takes a lot of time messing with settings and all that to fix it it's so annoying

Nope, I have never experienced this before unless when there is an issue with my service provider. Have you tried contacting your service provider?
Of course yes l am experiencing that almost daily. There are some times that the service is stopped for one or another reason like the network downtime among other reasons.

I have in some cases used a sim card for many years and never had an issue with it stopping working luckily. I would imagine it may very well stop working after a long time, but a replacement is easy to get as is moving your number over too.
I have had the same sim card now for just over a year since moving the provider I was with and no issues so far.

I got a replacement SIM issued from the telecom company, but it was very inconvenient since I had to purchase a new mobile phone, and smses are disabled for 24 hours after the sim is changed.
I have never experienced a situation where a SIM card just stops working unannounced. Maybe, that could be because the SIM card is quite old and about to expire.
I also had this happen and it's crazy that it stops working by accident and it's no longer possible to fix it. I had a problem with the sim card itself and not the phone because it was very damaged so I had to replace it with a new one and managed to keep the same number
I have had the experience. And it was because water had soaked the small phone and gotten to the sim card too. I had to get a replacement SIM card as soon as possible and swap it to maintain the the same number I was using.
