You should all confer to make sure you are all using fs latest git because that is the version I am talking about.  Fifo has some major new features in latest that do not exist in older versions including showing the customers cid when it calls agents.  The dilemma jm describes used to be true but is no longer the case with the default ringall strategy on latest git.

The customers cid is sent to the agent and if the fifo xml defines outbound_name param that will be included as well.

If you want to override it you must do what you quoted in the wiki in the dialstring contained in the member tag of the xml for that membership not in the dialplan.

These could be set within the {} of the dialstring, or they could be set using the set application in the dialplan which places the caller into the fifo (before the 'fifo in' executed on the caller).

I don't know if mod_callcenter does show anything but you should consider looking at the documentation if you really need this feature.
