Are you saying you are automatically sending the SMS messages via a background process or scheduled task (i.e., regardless of whether anyone is viewing the status on a web page), and you just need a web page to show each new message as it is sent? If so, I suppose you could store the messages somewhere as they go out (e.g., in the database or in RAM or disk cache). Then when the web page is first loaded, check when the most recent SMS was sent, and then have the page make an Ajax call 30 minutes after the last SMS and every 30 minutes thereafter. Upon each 30 minute check, if the next SMS has not gone out yet, just keep doing Ajax calls every second or two until the message has gone out -- then wait another 30 minutes and repeat. Alternatively, you could set up a websocket <https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/R-2.14.6/gluon/contrib/websocket_messaging.py> to push the notification to the web page.
