Manage Reserved Numbers

Read this to learn about how to work with reserved numbers, tagging them, editing and deleting tags, etc. 

Overview

Tags put numbers in the Reserved pool. Tags help admins find numbers that are reserved for a specific purpose.

  • You're required to add a tag to reserve a number. You can optionally reserve the number for a specific organization.
  • You can reserve and unreserve numbers from Number Status and Actions or from Number Management 
  • When numbers are initially deleted, the admin has a one-time option to tag the number and add a forwarding number. See Delete user and release, reserve, or forward calls
    • Note: After completing the deletion, it is impossible to forward a number that didn't initially have a forwarding number attached to it. 
    • However, if there is a forwarding number attached at that time, it can be edited or deleted.
