Troubleshooting
"That number could not be read as a phone number."
Include the country code, or fill in the Country.
"Paste at least one number."
The pasted list was empty.
"{n} suppressed, {skipped} unreadable"
Some lines were not numbers; fix them and import those again.
"You do not have permission for this action."
Importing lists and removing numbers needs the admin or manager role; a number blocked for all organisations only the platform operator can remove.
Tips
- Remove a number only if the person asked to be called again.
Good to know
- The suppression list is your organisation's own: it blocks your calls, not other organisations'.

- Do-not-call & rules Keep the numbers that must never be called, see what the calling rules refused, check a number and its consent, and block unwanted callers.
- A call was refused: the number is on a do-not-call list Understand the do-not-call refusals and when, if ever, the number may be called again.
