Put a DispatcherTimer in your App.xaml.cs file.

...

private static readonly DispatcherTimer myTimer = new DispatcherTimer();
 myTimer .Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
            myTimer .Tick += myTimerTick;
            myTimer .Start();

...

 private void myTimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           //do something here
        }

edit:

This allows you a single location to do what you want. If you need custom logic per page, you could create a switch statement where you check the current page

Or you could override PhoneApplicationPage with a page where you create this timer, and override the Tick function in each subpage.
