Help randomly not sending texts

OK I just bought this phone two days ago and it is my first android phone. So im not sure if its me or the phone.

I had to manually enter all my contacts because I could not get my old phone to sync up with this one. After trying to send texts I started receiving messages that I entered a invalid number and needed to enter a Valid 10 digit number. I ended up going back and entering the area codes on all of my contacts....Still not working. If I delete the text thread and send a new message it will go through but once they reply and I go to reply to them the phone drops the area code off the number displayed and my text doesn't go thru again.

I did make sure that the North America Dialing option was checked in the call settings. Please help me this is making me insane.

Go to the address book of your gmail account (using a PC) and check all of your contacts there to make sure they are right. Then re sync with gmail and it should start working right.
