Use 'verbose()' in priority 1. Note that this means whatever was at 
priority 1 needs to be changed to either '2' or 'n'.

To display the called number, I use something like:

         exten = _x.,1,                  verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])

(The nice thing about exten at context is that you can use your mouse to 
quickly select it then type 'dialplan show ' and then paste the clipboard 
to see the relevant section of the dialplan.)

To display the caller ID, how about something like:

         exten = _x.,1,                  verbose(1,[${CALLERID(num)}@${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}])
