Download SMS Timer: A SMS Scheduler Freeware For Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Isn’t it good if your mobile phone will automatically send SMS to someone at a point of time or during alarm of a calendar entry?

Personally, I like this idea very much and I’m glad to have this feature for my Nokia 5800! Although, it’s not a built-in function, there is a Symbian freeware to make this happen.


SMS Timer, kind of SMS scheduler, is developed by MobiMonster and co-hosted by Nokia India website as one of the few Symbian freeware made for Nokia 5800 (or any smart phones running on Symbian OS S60 5th Edition UI).

By using SMS Timer, I can schedule SMS to send out automatically at the specific date and time. The only little defect of SMS Timer is the inability to detect calendar entry with alarm property and automatically schedule SMS for sending according to the calendar reminder category.


How to use SMS Timer to schedule for SMS sending?

The SMS Timer is enabled (running) by default, upon installation complete. To confirm, press Menu key, go to Apps folder and click SMS Timer icon.

For first time, you might prompt to confirm “Auto enable SMS Timer on phone start?” message - Yes or No, is your preference and obviously, the answer is yes if you want the SMS scheduler to continue working even after you reboot the phone for whatever reason.

Next, click Options, go to Status and confirm the SMS Timer services (i.e. the SMS scheduler) is enabled.

Now, go to compose a new SMS as normal and hit the send button. After few seconds, you’ll see a note saying “To schedule this SMS click Schedule, or click Send Now to send immediately.”

So, just click Schedule and you’re asked to define both date and time to send this SMS. After click the Save button, open SMS Timer program again, you should notice the scheduled SMS appears in application window.

Suppose you want to edit the message of a scheduled SMS, double-click it and press Yes to proceed as the “Over-write the existing item and create a new schedule.” note pops up.

To re-schedule a particular scheduled SMS, click to highlight the item then click Options to select Re-schedule (or to delete the scheduled item).
