## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

The request was unacceptable, often due to providing an invalid update.  Errors may originate from invalid payload or from Pinnacle's additional validation checks. For example, providing an URL that cannot be accessed, updating a campaign that is currently being reviewed, updating data that you cannot access, sending a malformed message, and so on.  For `Pinnacle Validation Error` inspect the `error` payload to determine the source of the failure. These errors are likely due to additional validation and business logic checks. For `Request Validation Error` inspect the `description` and `errors` payload to determine the source of failure. These errors are likely due to invalid payload inside the request.

- `GetPhoneNumberStatusRequestBadRequestError`
