DELETE
Delete phone number
Disconnects a number from your Nixflex account. Clears the carrier configuration so calls no longer route to the engine - on Twilio the number’s webhooks, on Telnyx the assignment to your TeXML application, then removes the row from our database.

URL-encode the + if your HTTP client doesn’t do it automatically: %2B447446466847.

What this does NOT do

This endpoint does not release the number from your carrier:
  • ❌ Number stays in your carrier account
  • ❌ Carrier billing continues
  • ❌ Number is not cancelled
To fully release the number and stop carrier billing, do that directly in your Twilio or Telnyx account. This is intentional — releasing is a permanent billing decision and stays with the account owner.

Reversible

Deleting just clears webhooks and the database row. Re-importing the same number with the same data restores everything. Useful for testing.

Errors

Use case: customer offboarding

Two API calls, clean separation — Nixflex stops routing, you handle Twilio billing.
