# Cancel a port-in

`DELETE /v1/phone-numbers/port-in/{id}`

Cancel an in-flight port (wrong number, staying with the old carrier).
Only orders that haven't ported can be cancelled; a completed port is a
normal number release instead. The carrier may report `cancel-pending`
briefly while the losing carrier acknowledges; it settles to
`cancelled`.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

Cancel accepted (idempotent when already cancelled).

- object
  - `id` string
  - `status` 'draft' | 'pending' | 'foc_confirmed' | 'ported' | 'exception' | 'cancelled'

## Other responses

- `401` — Unauthorized
- `404` — Porting order not found
- `409` — Port already completed (release the number instead), or the carrier rejected the cancel (reason included)
