# Release a phone number

`DELETE /api/v1/numbers/{id}`

Release a number — standard SMS/call or iMessage. Immediate and irreversible.

On a **flat-rate subscription**, releasing a number lowers the subscription quantity by one and Stripe prorates the change — but the quantity never falls below **one number**. Releasing your last number therefore leaves the subscription active at the single-number rate rather than cancelling it, and the next number you provision is free (see Provision a phone number). To stop paying entirely, cancel the subscription with Cancel the subscription at period end.
