Use the **Status** toggle to stop or resume outbound traffic without
deleting the trunk.

  you do not have one yet.

## Step 1: Locate the trunk

trunk.

Important

Disabling blocks all outbound calls through the trunk.

[Status values](../outbound-trunk-reference.html#outbound-trunk-status-values) in the Outbound trunk
reference explain what each status means, including automatic disabling
when the rolling 24-hour limit is reached.
