Numbers
Delete number
Deletes the number with a 30-day SOFT delete. The paired device is logged out right away; the number itself is kept until restorableUntil (returned in the response) and then purged for good by a background job. Within the window: POST /v1/numbers/{id}/restore brings it back (reconnection required), DELETE /v1/numbers/{id}/purge destroys it immediately. While the number sits in the window, creating the SAME phone again returns 409 NUMBER_SOFT_DELETED, so a delete-and-recreate flow must purge first. A deleted number is not charged on the next Pay As You Go cycle; on the other plans deleting does NOT reduce paid capacity (see DELETE /v1/subscription/extra-numbers).
