When using SMS, you don't need to be connected to the internet because it is not like those online messaging apps like whatsapp and facebook that need data connection before they can be used. What SMS requires is only a strong network so as to deliver the message in a timely manner. SMS messages are stored in the SMS center temporarily in case they are not delivered or the recipient mobile phone is unavailable. And you can also set an expiry date after which a message temporarily kept in the SMS center would be deleted.
