What I can't do is receive SMS texts. I'm looking for an app
[computer or iPhone or Symbian or Android] that lets me receive the
text messages without having to switch to email. Is there a way to
_receive_ an incoming text without using email? Or is there a
program that receives the email and treats it like an incoming text
message to the sender?

There are three ways to receive SMS messages using your computer / PC:
1) Connect a mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem to a computer / PC. Then
use the computer / PC and AT commands to get the received SMS messages
from the mobile phone or GSM/GPRS modem.
2) Get access to the SMS center (SMSC) or SMS gateway of a wireless
carrier. Any SMS messages received will be forwarded to your
computer / PC using a protocol / interface supported by the SMSC or
SMS gateway.
3) Get access to the SMS gateway of an SMS service provider. Any SMS
messages received will be forwarded to your computer / PC using a
protocol / interface supported by the SMS gateway.
There are services that provide access to an SMS gateway. SMSs sent to
the gateway are rerouted to your email or an inbox.
