You need to set the hint for the phone when the phone is being dialed like 
this:

exten => 201,hint,SIP/201
exten => 201,1,macro(dial-sip,201)

It's important that you write the full name of the phone "SIP/201" as you 
can't use substitutions like this SIP/${EXTEN} - it took me a long time to 
figure that out.
