SMS doesn't confirm receipt very well (and delays are similar to email).
Our initial preference was for PIN messaging, however it does not appear to work from a PC (from non BlackBerry users).
Would an instant message client work?
Which one might you propose?

Try BES.
It's usually faster and more reliable than the BWC/BIS -- This will keep email delays to a minimum -- often 5 seconds or less. It's less likely to get overloaded like a busy carrier BWC/BIS during high demand periods.
Another method is to use PIN messaging, but that's mainly between BlackBerry units.
