If you want to send an out of call SIP MESSAGE request, you'll need to
use the MessageSend application:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+10+Application_MessageSend

SendText is used for sending text messages within a call. Since a SIP
channel is not servicing the out of call text message, you cannot use
it to send a SIP MESSAGE request back to whatever sent the original
SIP MESSAGE request.
