Sending text message via 360 adds +011 dialing prefix...can anyone help stop this?

[firstbeat]

I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 and a Moto 360. When I use "okay Google" "send text" command, often times it appears that my text was sent, but I come to find out that it wasn't sent and when I open my messaging app on the phone (I use Textra) I see the text message but when I look at the phone number it was sent to there is a +011 prefix tacked onto the number and the message was never sent. I carefully look at my phone contact and there is no dialing prefix...as an example, I live in Southern California and I try to send a text to my kid and in her contact the number is listed as (818)XXX-XXXX, but the text tries to send to +011818XXX-XXXX. I have checked phone settings, messaging settings yet this continues to happen to some text messages, but it works fine on other text messages. Anyone run into this? Thanks.

I am having the same issue and I could not figure out why everytime i send a text through the watch to certain people it works but to certain contacts it doesn't so I wish someone could tell us how to fix this because this is a major flaw that the watch has so if anyone has any suggestions or way to fix it please respond to this blog, thank you
