Some carriers still require a BlackBerry Plan even on the BB10 phones. You are not getting BIS, but it may be giving you access to the BlackBerry services without using data, such as unlimited BBM video calling. In addition, depending on your carrier/bank, you may need a NFC specific SIM card to use your phone with payment terminals.
