Personally: I have my phone on an unlimited data tariff and just use a 
Symbian imap client to check mail every 15 minutes

No message length limits, no overly long delays (SMSes usually deliver 
within seconds, but I have seen even local network ones take 6 - 24+ hours 
to deliver, depending on network load) and no stratospheric SMS charges 
(10c/message * 160 bytes maximum = $625/MB!!!)

Granted, this doesn't work with el-cheapo handsets, but many phones have 
some form of pop3/imap client onboard these days.
