Cant import a number that was previously assigned ...

When an org is deleted any number that was assigned seems to remain in the system, preventing the number from being imported again to an new org. So if you accidentally delete an org with a number and want to create a new org and import the old number you cannot. This is causing us significant issues at the moment. We import numbers from Vonage and even in Vonage I can see the connection to VAPI being successfully created but VAPI does not allow the phone number to be added to the org. Surely the number relationship should be deleted when the org is deleted. Please help!

When an org is deleted, it seems the linked phone numbers aren’t fully released, preventing re-import into a new org. Normally, deleting an org should clear all number associations to avoid this. I recommend checking if there’s a backend “unassign number” step or cleanup process. Are you using the standard Vonage import workflow, or a custom integration? @carlos

I’m not aware of any cleanup process and there is no api for the organisations
@kyle you reached out to help me the other day. Do you have any thoughts. I need to remove all trace of the numbers on the VAPI system so that I can re-add the numbers. I was told by Ashwin that when we deleted our account that all orgs associated with the account were deleted. Now that we have setup the account again we cant add the numbers that existed in the deleted account. Please can you permanently remove these numbers from the VAPI system?

we will need at least one of the phone numbers from that account. you can either send it here, through DM to @kyle or to support@vapi.ai.
