asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Menu for call forwarding or voicemail

I would like to create a simple menu that would allow a caller to
decide whether they want to leave a message or be forwarded to another
number (i.e cell phone). Thanks in advance for any insight.

Here's my current extension.conf

[general]
static=yes
writeprotect=yes

[globals]

[default]

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/101,20)
exten => 101,n,Voicemail(101 at default)

;This automatically calls the right mailbox using the ${CALLERIDNUM}
variable in the current context (var ${CONTEXT}).
exten=>*98,1,VoiceMailMain(${CALLERIDNUM}@${CONTEXT})

include => inbound
include => outgoing

[inbound]
exten => 9045622082,1,Goto(default,101,1)

[outgoing]
; The following gives an Unknown Caller ID
;exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=XXXXXXXXXX)
;exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,Set(CALLERID(name)=XXXXXXXXXX)

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=9045622082)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="Stephen Reese")
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)

exten => _NXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=9045622082)
exten => _NXXXXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="Stephen Reese")
exten => _NXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/1904${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)

exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=9045622082)
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="Stephen Reese")
exten => _NXXNXXXXXX,n,Dial(SIP/1${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)

exten => _011.,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=9045622082)
exten => _011.,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="Stephen Reese")
exten => _011.,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@vitel-outbound)

exten => _911,1,Set(CALLERID(num)=9045622082)
exten => _911,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="Stephen Reese")
exten => _911,n,Dial(SIP/911 at vitel-outbound)

Okay I'm going to start simple.

First I would like to forward the number to the remote number which
we'll make 904-940-9007. I've commented out the voicemail for the time
being, I'll bring that in once a menu is composed later on. So anyways
I've added a second rule to dial the second number after 20 seconds is
that the correct placement?

That would also work but what if my sip/101 device (softphone) isn't
connected.

Currently if my softphone is not connected then the line will go
straight to voicemail. If I remove the voicemail to implement your
rule then it will error out since the phone isn't connected.
