I think it would be useful if we can make a scheduled message and make it recurring - automatically send your subscription code monthly, weekly, daily (or just select the day/s you want like in alarm clock app or the calendar app) to your network provider or other service provider so it won't expire.
I'm not against Bixby doing it because there could be messages that other users might not wanna send anymore after they have created the routine and forgot about it. But I just want my message to be sent automatically without me having to do anything else.
I'm on prepaid and my network offers certain GB of data and unlimited texts for a week, calls not included. If I want it for another week, I can send the code at the last day and minute of my current subscription. If I'm late, any remaining GB of data in the current subscription will be lost. If I'm early, the new set of GB will add up to the remaining GB and the expiry date and time of the subscription will be extended for another 7 days starting at the hour and minute my code was received by the network. I'm scheduling the message to be sent at the last minute so I can maximize the time allocated for the subscription.
My workaround is I type in my code ahead of the expiry and schedule it to be sent at the last minute of the subscription validity (see images). I can't make it recurring so I manually typed them one by one - a month of scheduled messages.
Another workaround that I figured out is to use Bixby routines to perform quick commands weekly (images). I like Bixby routines and I use it a lot but it still requires me to manually press send or say yes before it sends the message.
If in case it would be hard for a lot of users to track their scheduled messages, maybe we can have the option to check the list of scheduled messages in messages app or in Bixby routines. Because in the current setup, I have no option to see a list of messages I scheduled to be sent to anyone. I have to go to a particular message thread to see those messages and cancel them or reschedule them if I need to. I think it would be better if I could see all my scheduled messages in a list whether it's in messages app or in Bixby routines.
A non-smartphone can do recurring scheduled message. I used it in my CloudLite Premier. But I can't imagine using that to browse the web etc haha..
