Delete Your Waveline Account

Deleting your Waveline account closes the entire organization, not just your individual login. It affects every teammate and the phone numbers, conversations, and settings connected to the organization. Before proceeding, review what happens immediately, what is permanently removed, and how to restore the account if you change your mind.

Phone service stops immediately

Requesting account deletion suspends your organization’s phone service immediately. Your account then enters a 30-day recovery window before permanent deletion.

Complete any phone-number transfers and save the records you need before submitting the request. Once permanent deletion begins, the account can no longer be restored. Recovery of released phone numbers is not guaranteed.

Where to find account deletion

From the Waveline web dashboard, open Settings → Account, then find Delete account.

Only organization Owners can request deletion or restore an account during the recovery window. See Roles and permissions for more information.

Only need to cancel the subscription?

Canceling a subscription is different from deleting the organization. If you only want to stop the subscription from renewing, follow Subscriptions.

Before you begin

  • Finish transferring any numbers you want to keep. If you are moving numbers to another provider, wait for that provider to confirm the transfers are complete. Do not release those numbers yourself. Contact Waveline Support if you need help arranging a transfer.
  • Check for transfers already in progress. Review incoming port requests under Settings → Numbers and finish any transfers into or out of Waveline before requesting deletion.
  • Save the records you need. Download available invoices, call recordings, and other records your organization needs to retain.
  • Let your team know. Confirm when Waveline service will stop and how customers and teammates should contact your organization afterward.
  • Confirm the organization. Check the organization name and phone numbers shown in the deletion dialog before proceeding.

Request account deletion

  1. Open Settings → Account.
  2. In Delete account, select Delete account.
  3. Review the phone numbers and account information that will be removed, along with any porting warnings.
  4. Type the organization name shown in the confirmation field.
  5. Select Delete account to submit the request.
  6. Confirm that the page shows This account is scheduled for deletion, and review the scheduled deletion date.

Select Cancel in the dialog if you are not ready to proceed.

What happens during the recovery window

Your phone service is suspended, and teammates lose normal access to the organization. Owners can sign back in to view the deletion status and restore the account.

The status page shows the scheduled deletion date and, when available, who requested deletion and when. Your phone numbers and account data are retained during the recovery window, but this does not mean phone service remains active.

After the recovery window, permanent deletion removes the organization’s phone numbers, call recordings, voicemails, text messages, contacts, inboxes, call flows, analytics, and team access. Restore the account before the date shown if you want to keep using it.

What happens to billing

Requesting account deletion schedules the subscription to stop renewing at the end of the current billing period. Phone service is suspended immediately, even if time remains in that billing period.

If you restore the account, review Settings → Billing afterward. If the subscription ended during the recovery window, you may need to set up billing again before phone service can resume.

See Subscriptions and Payment methods for help with any billing action shown.

Restore the account before deletion

  1. Sign in to Waveline as an organization Owner before the scheduled deletion date.
  2. On the deletion-status page, select Restore account.
  3. Review the restoration information.
  4. Select Confirm restore.
  5. Wait for the confirmation and the app to reopen.
  6. Review any notices, then check Settings → Billing and confirm that your team can access the organization.

Restoring cancels the scheduled deletion and preserves the account’s existing data and configuration.

If billing needs attention or phone service was already suspended before deletion was requested, restoring the account does not automatically resolve that separate issue. Follow the notices shown before expecting calls and messages to resume.

Common questions

I only want to remove one teammate

Account deletion closes the entire organization. To remove an individual teammate instead, follow Managing team members.

The Delete account button is unavailable

Waveline checks the organization’s phone numbers and porting status before allowing deletion. Wait for those checks to finish. If an error appears, select Try again. In the confirmation dialog, also make sure you have entered the organization name shown.

The page says Deletion setup needs attention

The deletion request was saved, but setup did not finish. Review the message shown. Select Retry deletion setup if you still intend to delete the account, or Check setup status if that is the action available.

If you have changed your mind, select Restore account when available. Contact Waveline Support if the page remains in this state or the action you need is unavailable.

I requested deletion by mistake

Sign back in as an Owner and select Restore account, then Confirm restore. Do this before the scheduled deletion date. If restoration is unavailable, contact Waveline Support immediately.

The account was restored, but phone service is still unavailable

Review the restoration notices and open Settings → Billing. You may need to set up the subscription again or resolve an existing billing issue. If Billing is current and service remains unavailable, contact Waveline Support with the message shown.

The page says This account is being deleted

Permanent deletion has begun, and the account can no longer be restored through Waveline. If this is unexpected, contact Waveline Support immediately. Recovery of deleted data or released numbers is not guaranteed.
