What about putting this in a special context and using 'h'?

i.e.

exten => 100, 1, Dial(SIP/100, 15)
exten => 100, 2, Voicemail(u100)
exten => h,1,Dial(Zap/g1/CELL_PHONE)

?  h will get executed on hangup.  The only caveat is that if no voicemail 
was left, you will still get called.  Is there some way to check if there 
are new messages and use that in h along with the Dial()?
