# Export Invalid Phone Numbers

> **Suggested reading:** [Dynamic segment](/docs/create-a-dynamic-segment)

You might encounter different reasons for undelivered messages. To avoid sending unnecessary SMS messages to hard-bounced phone numbers, you can use the attribute of **Invalid** phone numbers. **Invalid** phone numbers are those that you are trying to reach in a non-standard format, or that are missing numbers or country codes.

Thanks to the invalid phone number attribute, you get protected from the overcost of sending redundant SMS messages.
