Hey,
I ordered a generic blank LTE SIM card from ebay. When I try to read it I get the following message.
"Unable to connect with protocol: T0 or T1. Card is unpowered."
Before you ask, no, the sim is not in the wrong position. Check the attached images. Am I doing something wrong or is the card faulty? The reader is working, I was able to read/write to a SuperSIM (X-sim) and it detected a bunch of commercial SIMs from local operators (wasn't able to read any SIM specific value but I think that's normal). I just want to know if I should open a report agains the seller.

sorry, but there is no such thing as a 'generic blank LTE SIM card'.
A "LTE SIM Card" (more precisely an ETSI UICC with USIM and/or ISIM application) is only specified from the point it has been fully provisioned, i.e. at which point it is neither blank nor generic anymore.
Everything before that point is up to whatever proprietary protocol/system of the card manufacturer and/or card OS developer/licensor.
I just want to know if I should open a report agains the seller.
I guess you should ask your supplier for what kind of tools he can provide you to provision/program the card, and/or how to verify it works correctly.
