Apologies for not offering code but this sounds like you should just
modify the email notification text and set the email address to the
email->sms gateway for the user in voicemail.conf. (ex
2125551212 at vtext.com)

Another option would be to send the call to the cell phone's voicemail
using the carrier's VM pilot number and RGN/RDNIS. This way the
voicemail would actually be left on the cell phone's vm box for the
sales person to collect. (Also has the effect of unifying their
voicemail into one box for simplicity)
