I still don't understand something. If they are intercepting text messages globally, how do they do that if two people are texting each other in within the borders of their own country using their national carrier? Their texts never leave the country. Has the NSA somehow compromised or coerced various carriers around the world to provide them with this data?

NSA and GHCQ apparently routinely backdoor international carriers. I vaguely remember something about a Belgian carrier stumbling upon the backdoor and struggling to remove it for months.
