You have duplicated the country code. Remove either the +1 or the (1). But then the phone number is invalid. There are no US phone numbers that start with 1. The lowest number after the country code (1) is 2, and US phone numbers are all 10 digits.

I had the same issue with error +1 (1) (216) 116-11 when trying to text my son. I was able to call him, but not text him. The day before it worked just fine. My husband could text him. The only thing I did, was change his phone "name" in my contacts. He has 2 phones & 2 phone numbers. So I marked this particular number as iPhone. After that, I couldn't text him. FRUSTRATING to say the least! I deleted all previous text conversations. I deleted him as a contact altogether. I rebooted my iPhone and re-entered him as a contact. That did not work. I deleted him as a contact again, re-booted again, then I re-added him as a contact from my call log! BOOM. It's working!!!
