Turn off voicemail on his cell phone, give out his DID instead of his cell #.  
Send an SMS to his cellphone when new voicemail is left.  

As far as Dial()ing his cell goes, use 'r' (this is exactly what it's designed 
for) so that when the carrier is saying "The person  you're calling is out of 
the calling area or has his phone off" all the caller hears is ringing.

I just described how I have my own system working and it seems to work just 
fine.  :-)
