SMS stands for Short Message Service, which is a text messaging protocol provided by GSM(Global System for Mobile communications) networks which is the default one offered by mobile phone operators in Singapore from where I am based. In US, your default network should be CDMA (Code division multiple access) based, thus you have not heard of SMS, as it's not an option with CDMA networks. With SMS, over here, people rather text a short message to the other party than to call them personally, as it's like an email, and the other party can read and reply at his leisure.
The number you wrote above is his mobile phone number, to call him from US, you will have to make an international call with country code 65 (for Singapore). I doubt this guy will ship overseas to you as he may just be a hobbyist that bought a stash from China to offer some for sale. But who knows ? You may have better luck contacting the company directly (already provided the URL)
