I don't believe it matters what cell you use unless it would be an international phone # on an unsupported US carrier

So they won't care if its a Canadian cell phone number?

Accd. to the general info of the form, they only send text message for domestic customers. Overseas customers (beneficiaries) will only receive an e-mail.
