Request

The <deleteSubscriber> request can be used to delete IMSI and MSISDN routing data and subscriber data. See Subscriber and Routing Data for a description of subscriber and routing data.

The request allows for the removal of IMSI, MSISDN, or combinations of IMSI and MSISDN routing entities. Each routing entity contains up to eight destination names.

When the group="y" attribute is specified, the request deletes all data associated with the subscriber, including the Account ID, all relationships, and all IMSI and MSISDN routing entities that were assigned to the subscriber.

When group="y" is not specified or when group="n" is specified, only IMSI and MSISDN routing entities are deleted. If the IMSI or MSISDN value is assigned to a subscriber and there is at least one more IMSI or MSISDN value assigned to the subscriber, the IMSI or MSISDN value is removed from the subscriber.

The last IMSI or MSISDN value cannot be removed from a subscriber - the user must delete the whole subscriber by specifying the group="y" attribute.

Semantic Rules (requests that do not specify the group attribute or specify group="n")

All specified IMSI or MSISDN values must be assigned to one subscriber or must exist in stand-alone routing entities.
The accountID parameter cannot be specified.
At least one routing entity (IMSI or MSISDN) must be specified.
A maximum of 10 routing entities (IMSI, MSISDN, or combinations of the two) can be specified.
The last IMSI or MSISDN for a subscriber cannot be deleted. Use group="y" to delete whole subscriber).

Semantic Rules (requests that specify group="y")

All specified accountId, imsi, and msisdn values must be assigned to one subscriber. The specified imsi or msisdn values cannot exist in a stand-alone routing entity.
The accountID parameter can be specified.
At least 1 imsi, msisdn, or accountId value must be specified.
A maximum of 6 imsi, 6 msisdn, and 1 accountId value can be specified.
