You will need to consult Verizon or the user to understand if that phone number is still correct.  ServiceNow is basically using email to SMS gateways meaning some providers like Verizon offer an email address to send a text message.  Now this is very old technology and some carriers, especially outside the US, are scaling that back.  I do recall reading on the community that Verizon was considering charging for this and no longer free.

If you delete this notification device, that error will not longer appear because ServiceNow will no longer send out notifications to this device.
