Text messaging app keeps adding a "1" to the front of LOCAL 10 digit phone numbers.

Question

this generates an error message. Local calls require 10 digits in this area code.

Answer 1

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I've been sick with the flu.
As for the screen shot.... no. It would have the number of the person I was texting and I'm not going to post that online.
I've tried two different people and the results are always the same. Telephone function works, I can make and receive calls by selecting that contact. 3G data works, I can browse web. The contact is stored on the sim card. The carrier is net10 (who in this case uses ATT). The same card and contact work fine with my old phone, an LG optimus one.
However when I select a contact and press the text symbol I get the following message. (with “x” substituted for the phone number):
“1xxxxxxxxxx error invalid number. Please resend using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.”
Of course that 10 digit number work fine if it is a phone call so it is a valid number
Because the number of people in our area code is so large, all local phone calls use 10 digits.
I even upgraded to version v1.0.0B02 no positive effect.
