asterisk users - Jan 2013 - Asterisk Messaging Refuses To Work!

I am pulling my hairs out here. This is my dialplan.

exten => 100,1,Set(AGISIGHUP=no)
exten => 100,n,AGI(a2billing.php,4,callingcard)
exten => 100,n,Set(__APP_MSG_IND=${APP_MSG_IND})
exten => 100,n,Set(__APP_MESSAGE=${APP_MESSAGE})
exten => 100,n,Hangup()

exten => h,1,GotoIf($["${APP_MSG_IND}" =
"YES"]?send-msg,1)
exten => h,n,Hangup()

exten => send-msg,1,SendText(${APP_MESSAGE})
exten => send-msg,n,Hangup()

I can see on the command line that the SendText() is actually being called, but 
the softphone isnt getting the text.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a variable to be set?

Any ideas will be most welcome

If I was in your shoes (is this the right English sentence?)  I'll run a
tcpdump command to check the content of the SIP packet containing the
message. That way you'll know if the asterisk or the softphone is to blame.

The SendText application is only valid during a call.  You are trying
to send a message outside of a call.  See MessageSend[1] in Asterisk v10
and later.

I have changed the dial command to 

$tech/$dest,,gM(appmsg)

and I have added

[macro-appmsg]
exten => s,1,SendText(Hello world)


still no joy!
