Android users without Google Voice can still back up and read SMS messages online. The free SMS Backup App automatically transfers your SMS messages to a Gmail label as they come in.
You'll need to enable IMAP in your Gmail settings and give SMS Backup your Gmail username and password. After that, though, the app can back up the SMS messages you've stored on your phone to a Gmail label—"SMS" by default, but you can change it to anything you want. You also have an option to choose whether to have those messages appear as unread when they land in your label.
SMS Backup is a free download for Android phones only. Be sure to grab the right app if you go searching in the Market—this app was written by Christoph Studer, and has a small Gmail icon in its logo. You can always use the QR code at AndroLib with your phone's barcode scanner if you want to be sure. Or, grab it from android-sms (Google Code).
