Why can't you delete the 1?
Cellular phones don't require the 1 + area code for domestic long distance. It's handled within the carrier's infrastructure, and all you need is the area code.
You can also insert the "+" (plus sign) in front of the 1 which will then only use it for international long distance (also, go to SETTINGS / PHONE and enable International Assist).
So you can either remove the 1 in front of each area code OR add a plus sign in front of the 1 if you leave it.
