# POST /availableNumbers:rentAny is deprecated

Sinch Numbers API deprecated POST /availableNumbers:rentAny without giving a shutdown date yet.

Sinch Numbers API has deprecated the POST /availableNumbers:rentAny endpoint without a shutdown date. This call is restricted as it only supports US LOCAL numbers, and requests to this endpoint will ultimately fail. The change impacts callers attempting to rent any phone number matching criteria through this activation endpoint.

## What to use instead

New integrations should use the Number Order API instead.
