Text issues after iOS 17 update

Some of my #'s are in international, format, some are not. Those that were in my contacts before the upgrade are working fine, but when I attempted to enter a new contact, I kept getting invalid # error and the text woul not send. Tried 10 digits, 1-10 digits, +1 1-10 digits, +1 10 digits, tried from upper green bubble and from mid screen text area - all errors. Can anyone help?
