Remember to add the country dialling code - if you do not, Apple will likely presume it to be the country you are in

Receive error when trying to send a text message Hello, I receive the following error when trying to send a Messages text message on my iPhone 13: "Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code." I followed directions to delete all messages from the recipient including the error messages, and I deleted all recent call history. Problem persists because when I try to send a new text message by posting the 10 digit mobile number of the recipient, Messages always adds a +1 in front of the ten digit mobile number. How can I prevent Messages from adding +1 in front of the mobile number that I type in?
