This is the CLI help text:
---cut---
  -= Info about application 'SendText' =-

[Synopsis]
Send a Text Message

[Description]
  SendText(text[|options]): Sends text to current channel (callee).
Result of transmission will be stored in the SENDTEXTSTATUS
channel variable:
      SUCCESS      Transmission succeeded
      FAILURE      Transmission failed
      UNSUPPORTED  Text transmission not supported by channel

At this moment, text is supposed to be 7 bit ASCII in most channels.
The option string many contain the following character:
'j' -- jump to n+101 priority if the channel doesn't support
       text transport
---cut---

So you might just try and see what SENDTEXTSTATUS you get.

Mmm.  In 1.2.x and 1.4.0,

CLI> show agi send text
Usage: SEND TEXT "<text to send>"
       Sends the given text on a channel. Most channels do not support the
transmission of text.  Returns 0 if text is sent, or if the channel does not
support text transmission.  Returns -1 only on error/hangup.  Text
consisting of greater than one word should be placed in quotes since the
command only accepts a single argument.

Guess the morale is: always check in your own version. (I wasted numerous hours trying to get =~ to work in 1.2.13:-(
