	I think you are confusing extensions with SIP usernames.  In order to
dial anything on your system you already need to know the "name" of the
SIP phone (unless you are not doing authentication which is a bad idea).
That way you can use Dial(SIP/sipphone).  If you want to assign an an
extension to this sipphone you need to save the username to your
database to a key maybe like roam/123.  That way when you lookup
roam/123 from the database you get the username of the phone and insert
that into your dial command.
