# EndSmsConversation()

End an active SMS conversation with a contact.

**important:** You can only use this AMPscript function in MobileConnect.

You can’t use this function with conversation-based templates, including Double Opt-In and Info Capture templates.

## Availability

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Marketing Cloud Engagement</td>
    <td>✅ Yes</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Marketing Cloud Next</td>
    <td>❌ No</td>
  </tr>
</table>

## Syntax

```
EndSmsConversation(originationNumber, destinationNumber)
```

The `EndSmsConversation()` function has two parameters:

- `originationNumber` (string): Required. The phone number (such as a short code or long code) used in MobileConnect.
- `destinationNumber` (string): Required. The contact’s phone number, including the country code.

## Usage

Use this function while there’s an ongoing conversation with a contact. To use this function, pass it your short or long code, and the phone number of the contact.

```
%%=EndSmsConversation("12345",MOBILE_NUMBER)=%%
```

**note:** This function always returns `true` if successful, and an exception if it fails. For this reason, we recommend against using this function for decision making.
