Display called account on incoming call
Before answering an incoming call, I need to know which of several configured SIP accounts was called, so I can answer appropriately. Each SIP account represents a different company, so it's important to know which company was called.
To make it possible to use Linphone in this way, the called SIP account should be displayed in the received call notification. Additionally, it would be helpful to also display it in the call window, but this isn't essential.
I would also like to see this added. There is no way to see which SIP account gets the call. There is only sip domain info which doesnt really help in such situation.
From the current version of 4.2 (alpha53), call notification will show the display name of the caller if it is not in friends. Printing campany name is not yet done.
It's about caller information from From : "Name" <sip:>
When you receive a call, you get this header that is set by your caller (the display name in settings).
But this ticket/request is about the SIP account which receives the call. Like when you have two accounts: private and work. You don't know which line is calling.
I would like to bump this issue. To be honest, this is the last thing I need to finally convert from Zoiper to Linphone with our company. Everything is fine - except I need to know on which account/line the call comes from. Similar to @4ley I have 3 different lines, 1x main company number, 1x order hotline company number, 1x internal phone extension; so it is required to know how we need to answer the call.
I stumbled upon this since I just created a similar issue (4 years later). I guess this just isn't a priority. This is kind of a deal breaker for me. Does anyone know any work arounds? https://github.com/BelledonneCommunications/linphone-desktop/issues/710
I worked around this by configuring our PBX to append the company name to the caller's number (inspired by email subaddressing). So '01234567890' becomes '01234567890+company1' and this is displayed by linphone. For outgoing calls, I configured the PBX to strip the plus sign and anything after it. Of course, rewriting the caller's number like this is not a standard feature, even supposing your SIP accounts all use your own company PBX and you are able to make such changes to it. We're using Yate on a Raspberry Pi. It wasn't easy to set up, but it's been working for four years now (I just noticed it's four years to the day since I opened this ticket).

So Zoiper has this feature? :>
