ST87M01-1111 Embedded SIM / Vodafone Profile Availability in Turkey

[ctrana]

Hello,
I am developing a small standalone wearable emergency device and I am considering the ST87M01-1111 because of its integrated GNSS, NB-IoT connectivity and embedded SIM.
According to ST’s documentation, the ST87M01-1111 can be supplied with an embedded Vodafone SIM profile.
I would like to clarify a few points before selecting this module:
1. Can the embedded Vodafone SIM profile of the ST87M01-1111 connect to a Vodafone NB-IoT network in Turkey?
2. Is the embedded Vodafone profile already provisioned/activated, or does the user need to obtain an IoT subscription separately?
3. Can an individual developer use this embedded SIM/profile for a small prototype, or is a corporate/IoT agreement required?
4. If the Vodafone profile cannot be used in Turkey, can another SGP.32-compatible IoT SIM profile (for example from a global IoT connectivity provider) be provisioned to the ST87M01-1111?
5. Is the ST87M01-1111 currently available as a small-quantity/sample purchase, and if not, what is the recommended way to obtain it?
My main goal is to understand whether I can build a standalone device without using a physical SIM card.
Thank you.

wearable emergency device …  NB-IoT 

Is that a good fit?

NB-IoT is not great for mobility - LTE-M might be better ?

Thank you for pointing that out. Mobility is indeed an important consideration for my application.
I was initially considering the ST87M01 because of its compact size, low power consumption, GNSS support and embedded SIM option. However, I understand that LTE-M may be more suitable for applications involving mobility.
My main requirements are compact size, low power consumption and reliable cellular connectivity.
Thank you for your guidance.
