# Delete a phone number

`DELETE /v1/communication/phone-numbers/{phone_number_id}`

Delete a phone number.

By default LK teardown must succeed before the row is removed; LK
failures surface as a 4xx so the caller can retry. ``force=true`` is an
internal-only escape hatch that drops the row even when LK is
unreachable — used after manual reconciliation. Non-internal callers
that pass ``force=true`` are rejected with 403.
