Internet Requirement<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1846\">SMS does not require an internet connection. Messages are delivered through mobile networks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1848\" data-end=\"1917\">Push notifications require <strong data-start=\"1875\" data-end=\"1900\">internet connectivity<\/strong> to be delivered.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1922\" \/>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1hi7lfi\" data-start=\"1924\" data-end=\"1941\">3.
