Fake Text App?

[bsi]

I googled this but the hits were all about editting text to fake as though you had a conversation.

What I want is the following and I would think other hobbiests would find it useful

1) Enter a time for the text to send
2) Enter a real contact from your list, or a fake number as the sender
3) The text of the message itself

So, when I see my fav SP is working but I need an alibi, I set it up to send me a message in 15 minutes from a client (like "Could you come by the office, we are having a problem") as though they want me to come in. I show this to the SO and say "oops, it looks like I have to go in to see xxx". This gives me an excuse to be away the next few hours.

For me, I would be using real contacts from existing clients and these messages would be part of the back and forth in the log which I could show the SO.

Is there an app that does this? It does not have to be free. It has to work on iPhone though, not jailbroken.

My piece of crap 8 year old 7-Eleven hobby phone has a similar feature called "Fake Call". You pick a contact like "Mom" and set a time in the future like 10 minutes and a call from "Mom" rings in 10 minutes. So, I have to believe someone has already invented this.

I have told no one I hobby so I need something I can run myself. Your suggestion is good though.

Android: ‘Fake text message’ lets you receive fake text messages from anyone you want! Trick your friends and make them believe you received the message of their dream.
Ever forgot to send an important SMS to someone? This app lets you send that SMS as ‘failed’ at any time you want so that you can blame it on the phone.

BTW: Not my description - I just copied the app text. I haven't used it.

Get a burner phone for specifically this purpose (to send texts to your real phone)

Use the burner phone and send a text that says "Hi, it's customer X. Can you come by for 15 mins?". Send that text to your real phone.

Save the contact in your real phone as "Customer X" so any time you get a txt from your burner phone, it looks like it's from a real customer.

Of course make sure you invent a new customer (X) and don't use the name of an existing one. Just create a new client that you do "a bunch of off hours work for".

Also make SURE to password protect and hide the burner phone.
