I have a Nokia GSM "modem" on a PCMCIA card for my laptop. Usually for
dial-up access to the Net when on the move. But it also sends and
receives SMS - and obviously a much better UI on the laptop than a
phone.
It's about 3 years old now, I've seen them on ebay for peanuts.

ps. It only needs an Orange SIM if you want data at more than 9.6K, SMS
will work with any SIM (afaik).
