SQL query: I am importing data from one source to another. The phone number has 3 variations and I want to standardize the information. I need to remove the "+1" or "1" from the leading characters of the phone number.

example:
13035554444
+13035554444

stuff (replace(value,'+',''),1,1,'')

case when charindex('+1',value)=1 then substring(value,3,len(value)-2)
when charindex('1',value)=1 then substring(value,2,len(value)-1)
else value end
