SIM not recognised (alien.top)

Hi everyone! I've been using my FP5 for quite a while now (ordered at launch), and up until today it has worked amazingly. However, today I noticed that my mobile network wasn't working, and after checking figured out that the phone didn't recognise the SIM anymore ('emergency calls only'). I opened the back, wiped everything clean, took out the battery and SIM, put everything in and restarted the phone. It worked again for ~2hrs, and then unfortunately failed again. Has anyone else experienced similar problems, on FP5 or previous versions? Any possible fixes are very welcome :)

Extra info: My SIM is of the Dutch provider 'Simpel', which uses the Odido (previously T-Mobile) network, so should be quite reliable. Boyfriend is using the same provider and not experiencing any issues. No registered disruption / maintenance either.
