Hello people!

Is Okay to say the following sentence?

- The number provided 852351889 is unreachable. Could you provide a valid one?

Obs: I’m using “unreachable” cause I’m trying to get hold of information but its not available.

I always use “invalid” but I wanna expand my vocabulary and try new words

Hello people!

Is Okay to say the following sentence?

- The number provided 852351889 is unreachable. Could you provide a valid one?

Obs: I’m using “unreachable” cause I’m trying to get hold of information but its not available.

I always use “invalid” but I wanna expand my vocabulary and try new words

Answer

Unreachable sort of implies it may be valid. It exists somewhere that could not be reached. But I believe actual phone recordings may say "the number could not be reached." They definitely say the number "is not in service."

Answer

Oi Rafael,

Acho que todas as opinioes dos outros usuarios são molto boas e validas. Se você simplesmente quer aprender e utilisar novo vocabulário, sim, "unreachable" é um bom sinônimo nesse contexto. Mas tudo depende do contexto :)

Answer

Instead of "is unreachable", you could say "cannot be reached."

Answer

You can use unreachable but not valid or invalid sounds better
