# Remove the resource from a phone number

`DELETE /api/fabric/phone_number_addresses/{id}`

Removes the resource from a phone number's channel, so inbound calls or messages on that channel no longer reach it. The number stays in your project, the resource is not deleted, and the address remains with `resource_id` set to `null`, so it still appears in [List phone number addresses](/docs/apis/rest/phone-number-addresses/list-phone-number-addresses). To give up the number itself, use [Release phone number](/docs/apis/rest/phone-numbers/release-phone-number).
