Default Wildcard with sumif

I'm trying to get the sum of a list of numbers that start with a certain
number (in this example 1). I can't seem to make any wildcard work. My
numbers all have 5 digits so I've tried 1* and 1????.
=SUMIF(A1:A307,"1*",F1:F307)
=SUMIF(A1:A307,"1????",F1:F307)
don't work. Will someone please tell me what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks
in advance.
