SMS in this case stands for "Short Message Service" (cellular phone text messaging). Google wants to verify your identity for your Gmail account. Your two computers or two phone numbers have apparently confused Gmail. The SMS code will be a text message on your cell phone. Also, based on what you are saying, Gmail sent the SMS code to your old phone number.

This link has a lot of information.

Gmail Account Recovery
gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com

SMS is mentioned twice on the webpage.

If you are instructed to supply a mobile number to receive a SMS code, you need to follow the process as described:
gmailblog.blogspot.com
google.com
support.google.com

Get a verification code on my phone

The option most preferred by Google is for them to send you a verification code to a pre-configured mobile device. When this option is selected a choice of receiving the code by SMS message or voice is given. Make the selection and click Continue.



Do not leave the recovery process until you receive the code. The code will be received on the configured mobile device and should be entered on the next screen that will be presented.



Once the code is entered, the next screen will allow the creation of a new password for the account.
