Well, if you are trying to reach another GSM user, yes. But if you want to
send a message to someone else, then email is obviously more universal.

Yes, there are SMS/Email and SMS/Instant Messenger gateway services and web
based SMS and some allow archiving or forwarding. A very popular Web based
SMS service where you can receive SMS even if you don't have a mobile is
operated by MTN of South Africa and can be found at http://www.mtnsms.com,
it's got 6.7m users.
