How about an option of email along with sms. Email is free for me, sms costs $0.20.

If you set your email client as the handler for 'mailto:' links (it's reasonably easy, at least on Firefox), the following bookmarklet creates an email ready to be sent (one click in Gmail) with the current page URL:

    javascript:(function(){var%20url=%22mailto:[email protected]?body=%22+document.URL;window.open(url);})();    
Don't forget to replace '[email protected]' with your own email address.

Good stuff. I've added the window's title to the email's subject field:

    javascript:(function(){var%20url=%22mailto:[email protected]?subject=%22+document.title+%22&body=%22+document.URL;window.open(url);})();

Right click on page, then select 'Send Link...'. (At least in Firefox)

Right, but that doesn't fill out the email address.

How much time could it take to just email yourself a link?

I can see the purpose of SMS, I guess. You get an alert right on your phone.

This seems like a neat service but I prefer something a bit more robust like Instapaper, which I use for things like this.

Cool anyhow! Thanks for sharing! Good luck!

Then use my bookmarklet, cctome.com ;)

Incoming SMS is chargeable in US?

Yes, they charge for sending and receiving.
