Looks like nobody schedules SMS messages.
To help others choose, the one I am currently using seems OK, but it's not
perfect.

It's called Advance SMS Scheduler com.biztech.smsscheduler, 
by biztechconsultancy
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.biztech.smsscheduler

You set the start and end date, time, and whether to repeat daily, every 2
days, every 5 days, every week, every 15 days, every 20 days, every month,
or every year.

It seems to work, but the granularity is fixed as shown above, as is the
message itself. So I'm looking for one that has any repeat cycle, and/or the
ability to vary the message.
