Request

The <deleteSubscriberRequest> request removes IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier routing data and can remove subscriber data. See Subscriber and Routing Data for a description of subscriber and routing data. Each routing entity contains up to nine destination names. Each destination contains FQDN and realm values.

If the group="y" attribute is specified, then the request deletes all data associated with the subscriber. The Account ID, all relationships, and all IMSI, MSISDN, and External Identifier routing entities that were assigned to the subscriber are deleted.

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

Note:

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

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

All specified accountId, imsi, msisdn, or extenderIdentifier values must be assigned to the same subscriber. The specified imsi or msisdn values cannot exist in a standalone routing entity.
The accountId parameter can be specified.
At least one accountId, imsi, msisdn, or extenderIdentifier value must be specified.
A maximum of six imsi, six msisdn, ten extenderIdentifier, and one accountId values can be specified.

Request Format

The request must be inserted between the <soapenv:Body> and </soapenv:Body> XML tags, as shown in SOAP Request Messages.
