Jerry:

It sounds like what you want to do is have the phone register two
lines (sip.conf)?
Otherwise, you could create two extensions for the phone
(extensions.conf). One of them could be for voice calls where you do
the whole

Dial(SIP/XXX),
Voicemail(xxx)
Hangup

or however it is that you do things on your system.
I'm not familiar with the SendText() command, but I imagine if you had
a second extension that simply lacked the Voicemail(xxx) part, the
message would go through as you desire.
