The country code added to text message creating error

When I text a local number and I input the 10 digits it automatically adds the +1 in front. Even if I have them saved as a contact without it. Then once I send message it comes back invalid number must enter a valid 10 digit. I can not remove the country code when calling or texting. I went in and turned my dial assist of and still can text
