The only method that comes to mind is to buy a GSM modem which has SMS
messaging capability.
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).
