Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Voicent BroadcastBySMS, we appreciate that you took the initiative to check us out!
Pertaining to your question, BroadcastBySMS does not utilize an internet connection to send text messages; however, it does require a GSM Modem, which is an USB adapter that houses the GSM card that is provided by your cellphone provider. Here at Voicent, we sell the Zoom Model 4598 Modem which you can also purchase on Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Zoom-4598-Unlocked-USB-Modem/dp/B0089XJG64
Please note for this particular GSM modem, it is only compatible with GSM cards that operate at frequencies of either 850, 1900, or 2100 MHz. You need to talk to your cellphone provider to confirm. And yes, you should be able to send SMS messages wherever in the world as long as your GSM card is compatible, and that a GSM cellphone tower is nearby! You can normally find information about GSM from your cellphone provider.
