You could consider using something like jmp.chat. It delivers SMS via XMPP (aka jabber), so you could self-host a XMPP server and receive SMS that way. It also has some support for MMS (group chat, media), but my experience with it was mixed (I used it for about 3-4 years).
Would this require I leave my phone at home? Not a deal breaker, just curious.
No, but basically jmp.chat takes over your phone number... it acts as your carrier for voice and SMS (similar to Google Voice). Maybe not exactly what you want.
From the FAQ:
The benefit of this is that you can receive voice and text on anything that can serve as a XMPP client.
That's nice. This might be my answer.
