Where are you from? Specific region? Thats the main question.
There are three narrowband standards:
* LTE-M
* NB-IOT1
* NB-IOT2
Not all modems support all standards, and no modem supports all transmission bands at once. It like LTE/4G: It's used worldwide, but different regions use different frequency bands. If your modem doesn't support the band that is used in your specific location you have no service. It's that easy.
So your homework is to find out which of the three standards is used in your location, on what frequency band and on which carrier, then choose a suitable modem certified for your specific juristiction, and then choose a suitable provider.
A good starting point is this modem:

Note: Many modems can only have GNSS reception when the cellular part is off.
