Does BBM work on your device?
If yes, you have BIS, which is good and everything should work.
I don't own a Telus device, nor do I live in Canada, but I my previous reply is what the Surf Business plan is.
I would call in, and question them about it because it seems like it shouldn't be there.

Just because the OP has BBM does not mean he has BIS. Some Canadian carriers offer "social plans" which generally only include BBM, Facebook, and IM, but not browsing. These plans are cheaper than full BIS plans.

You are correct, though, when you say the OP should call Telus and ask them exactly what his plan includes and does not include.

I had no clue that they offered that over there, I learn something new everyday.
Thanks for the information.

You're welcome.

I have BBM friends from Canada, so that was how I knew.
