Deactivated Phone Numbers

This resource lets you retrieve a list of United States phone numbers that have been deactivated by mobile carriers. These phone numbers are no longer in service for the subscriber who used to own that number. Twilio will update the set of available reports every day. These should be used periodically to remove these phone numbers from your opted-in subscriber list. For more information how to use these reports please see this FAQ.

Fetching Deactivated Numbers

GET requests can be issued to /Deactivations to retrieve deactivated numbers.

Each request will retrieve the report for a single day. You should pass in a Date parameter (in YYYY-MM-DD format) to indicate what date's report you want to retrieve. Twilio will return a redirect to a url where you'll be able to retrieve that file.

There is only a single parameter on this request:

Parameters in REST API format
date
Optional
get date<iso8601> Not PII

The request will return a list of all United States Phone Numbers that were deactivated on the day specified by this parameter. This date should be specified in YYYY-MM-DD format.
