When Native Integration is enabled in Settings > Preferences – Call Handling, all numbers other than Softphone use the contact's Display Name for the incoming caller ID if there is a matching contact, even though when the Match Contacts for Caller-Id setting is turned OFF. This is a limitation due to CallKit; once you answer the call, Noctel Go uses the information in the SIP header for the caller ID as you set in the preference.

There is another setting for adding a SIP account name in notifications; see Display Account Name.

When both global and per-account call forwarding settings are enabled, the global one takes precedence; all incoming calls on all the SIP accounts will be forwarded to a specified number.
