What I have observed on Grandstreams with auto-hangup set, is that they'll 
clear the screen on a hangup, so this bit of code:

   exten => 2323,1,Noop(SendText test)
   exten => 2323,n,Answer()
   exten => 2323,n,SendText(Hello\, World!)
   exten => 2323,n,Wait(1)
   exten => 2323,n,Hangup()

without the Wait(1) appears to do nothing. With the Wait(1), I see the 
message on the display, it waits a second then it ends which clears the 
screen.

CLI output: (SIP/222 is a GXP2000 I'm making the call from)

     -- Executing [2323 at internal:1] NoOp("SIP/222-000000a4", "SendText test") in new stack
     -- Executing [2323 at internal:2] Answer("SIP/222-000000a4", "") in new stack
     -- Executing [2323 at internal:3] SendText("SIP/222-000000a4", "Hello, World!") in new stack
     -- Executing [2323 at internal:4] Wait("SIP/222-000000a4", "1") in new stack
     -- Executing [2323 at internal:5] Hangup("SIP/222-000000a4", "") in new stack
   == Spawn extension (internal, 2323, 5) exited non-zero on 'SIP/222-000000a4'

If I don't execute Answer(), then the messages are still sent to the 
calling phone, but the Grandstream captures them and flashes a 'mailbox' 
icon - you then need to go into the menu to get them.
