Release numbers that you ported to Connect Customer that you no longer need

You do not have to keep phone numbers assigned to your Connect Customer instance.

When a phone number is released from your Connect Customer instance:

  • You will no longer be charged for it.

  • You cannot reclaim the phone number.

  • Connect Customer reserves the right to allow it to be claimed by another customer.

To release a phone number
  1. Log in to Connect Customer admin website with an Admin account or a user account that has Phone numbers - Release security profile permission.

  2. On the navigation menu, choose Channels, Phone numbers. This option appears only if you have the Phone numbers - View permission in your security profile.

  3. Choose the phone number you want to release, and then choose Release. This option appears only if you have the Phone numbers - Release permission in your security profile.

If the phone number is associated with a flow, that flow will be deactivated until another number is associated with it.

When customers call the phone number you have released, they will get a message that it is not a working phone number.
