AngularJS - remove duplicate records

Question

I am really new to the world of angularjs and I am working on angular 1.5

What I am trying to do is remove the duplicate records from the response before assigning it to the $scope

The results that i get looks like as following

[
{
    "phoneNumbers": [
      {
        "value": "00 1 111-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 0,
        "type": null
      },
      {
        "value": "00 1 222-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 1,
        "type": null
      },
      {
        "value": "00 1 333-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 2,
        "type": null
      }
    ]
  },{
    "phoneNumbers": [
      {
        "value": "00 1 111-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 0,
        "type": null
      },
      {
        "value": "00 1 222-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 1,
        "type": null
      },
      {
        "value": "00 1 333-222-333",
        "pref": false,
        "id": 2,
        "type": null
      }
    ]
  }]

You will notice that there are 2 arrays and both have sub array called phoneNumbers and they have the exact same value.

What I need is if phoneNumbers of any array matches the phoneNumbers of another array then remove that array all together from the response.

I will really appreciate any help on this.

I think that is simpler to do this computation on the server side rather than on the client. In such a way you have more computational power on the server and the payload of the response is smaller, so less data to transfer means more transfer speed. — Gabriele Ciech, Nov 08 '16 at 10:01
@GabrieleCiech believe me I want to do that but in this case, i have been told to do it on client. — Saadia, Nov 08 '16 at 10:02
@Saadia Phonenumber matching is when all the 4 properties are the same ? — Weedoze, Nov 08 '16 at 10:04
@Weedoze they are not going to be 4 all the time, some times it might just be 1 or 2, as long as they match. — Saadia, Nov 08 '16 at 10:06

This is not angularjs question, but rather general question of comparing objects and arrays. You can find good example in the answer to this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7837456/how-to-compare-arrays-in-javascript
