You can setup your own gateway:

There are still SMS gateways online (some at phone company websites). And IRC too:
https://kiwiirc.com/client

Sad that the domain names for the popular IM gateways have expired, but there are still some out there (as I showed above). I guess they just could not compete with skype IM and facebook IM. But as I said, you can run your own servers at home (requiring some internet router fiddling to share the port).

Using on-kindle options for direct IM access via 3G (using corkscrew) are not allowed to be discussed in detail here. You must use web server gateways to stay withing the TOS. And as I said, you can run your own gateway.
