Yes, do it without the "1". The 1 prefix is for land line phones because its how the old phone companies did it. I do not have one "1" in my phone book and all my numbers have the area codes.

hmmm... I'm assuming that you've sent other texts to other people, right? This message you're getting, is it a text response or is it the iPhone popping up a message?

Have you tried the dumb stuff, like resetting the phone?
