Deleting phone numbers not in service

54 votes

There should be an option to delete a phone number that is a non working number. When I do an enhanced search and get additional phone numbers and start to call these home owners, I need the ability to delete a number that is out of service so I don’t call them again. As of now I just been adding a note to the deal but I think this shouldn’t be to hard to add this feature

"Delete Bad Numbers From Enhanced Search" (suggested by Roger on 2019-07-23), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

I would suggest that instead of deleting the number, it could be flagged or "grayed out" showing that it is non-working. That way if you go back later and find a number through a different website/service, you would know that you already have that number and have already tried it.

Yes please add this feature. It's annoying when I have a list of bad numbers I can't delete

yes i agree there is more than one number that is out of service, it takes time to add a note when a number is not working.

Agree with 10000%%% this feature used to be there before the text message feature was added, now it's super annoying and VERY time consuming to write notes for multiple numbers stating that they do not work. Time can be spent analyzing another deal or finding another lead. Time management is important!

We implemented this in a bit different way. The problem with "deleting" a bad number is that it can come back again if the data is kept in sync or skip traced. Instead, we are marking numbers as Disconnected and making sure they are visible, but in a way that shows you not to call the number again. I hope this works as an alternative. I'm interested in your feedback.

I think it should be changed so you can tag the number as a “Dead Number” instead of totally deleting it.

Hey Nate, I think they should be removed completely. I"m a new user and I haven't seen one that said "disconnected" yet, I've definitely had a ton of them

Hey all! Dan from DealMachine here.

In a previous iteration of DealMachine, we flagged skip traced phone numbers as disconnected. This changed with the release of unlimited contact info in November 2023. We DO plan to address this to improve your experience.
