What exactly do you presently have in the list now?

If, for example, you had:
(213) 123-4567

You could use "Edit & Replace", where you "Find"
" ( " (no quotes)
And replace with " 1 ( " (no quotes).

If your phone number is A1 and is in US format, then, if you want ALL numbers
to be prefixed by a 1:

=TEXT(A1,"[<=9999999]1-###-####;1-(###) ###-####")

If you only want those numbers with area codes prefixed by a 1, then:

=TEXT(A1,"[<=9999999]###-####;1-(###) ###-####")
