I have a program that triggers a reminder timer. When that timer is done, I

Can this be done using Python?
Yes! There are APIs that will help you with that. Search the web for
"text message api" and see what you can find. (Be aware that some of
them will ask you to pay money.) Then pick one of them and see if you
can access it from Python.
Some telephone carriers provide cost-free email-to-SMS
gateways.
Most of them will be HTTP-based APIs, so you will do well to use the
"requests" module.
Send email over SMTP; use Python's standard smtplib module.
