This is a small working messaging application using Python. As name suggests "SMS Timer" is used to send a predefined SMS to the recipient at a specific time.

Below is the code for the same.

#SMS Timer
#import the module inbox (that handles incoming sms things)
import inbox
#import the module e32
import e32
#import the module appuifw
import appuifw
#import the module messaging
import messaging
 
#set application title
appuifw.app.title=u"SMS Timer"
 
# Define exit function
def exit_key_handler():
    app_lock.signal()
 
 
def run():
 
 
# define the list of items (items must written in unicode! -> put a u in front)
	L = [u'Set Timer',u'Exit']
 
# create the selection list
	index = appuifw.selection_list(choices=L , search_field=1)
 
#Trigger action upon index
 
	if index == 0:
		data = appuifw.query(u"Enter SMS text","text")
		number=appuifw.query(u"Enter recepient number","text")
		appuifw.note(u"Enter time to wait before sending !", "info")
		t=appuifw.query(u"Send after time (in mins) :","number")
		t=t*60
		while t>0:
			e32.ao_sleep(1)
			t=t-1
		messaging.sms_send(number, data)
		appuifw.note(u"Message sent!", "info")
		run() # Again call the main function
	if index == 1:
		exit_key_handler()
 
#calls the main function
 
run()
 
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()
 
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler = exit_key_handler
app_lock.wait()
