You can delete phone lines any time. Deleting a phone line is permanent and you cannot retrieve it later.

❗️ Important
If you remove a Phone Pro user, any phone line scheduled for deletion will be automatically deleted. If there are no phone lines scheduled for deletion, we will remove the most recently added phone line.
If you switch from a Pro to a Free plan, all additional lines will be deleted. Additional lines are either ones scheduled for deletion or the most recently created lines. Your first line remains active and free.
  1. Go to Calls > Phone lines.
  2. Click the phone line name to access its settings.
  3. Click Delete phone line.
  4. Write delete permanently” in the field.
  5. Click Delete number permanently to confirm.

Your phone line will be deleted at the end of your billing period. You will be able to get a new phone line once the other one is deleted.
