Hey. I have read other people have had this problem as well, and tried some of their tips/fixes.

I have figured out that it is because the phone automatically puts a 1 before the area code of my numbers. If i start a fresh text (not replying to one) add the number (not contact) then the text sends fine. I keep getting a code 3 (?) for the reason of the not-sent-notification. This generally is only happening with 2 or 3 of the contacts that i text with, but both are verizon (my carrier) and both are in my area code...

Ideas? How do I prevent the phone from putting that 1?

Thanks!
Emm
