Can't make international calls with Siri?

I use Siri (in English) and when I try to make it call someone in a specific foreign country I'm having some issues. It works for all national calls and when I phone SOME foreign numbers too (from Australia etc).
All my numbers (national or not) have the +country code before it and it works perfectly when calling from my contact list, but a few of them don't work when I tell siri to call them: "Sorry, I can't call (name of the contact)". It doesn't give me a reason.
The number is correct and I phone it several times and it works, but still Siri won't call it, it recognizes the contact and their number, tries to call it and then it says it can't.
The number has the +country code of 2 digits, and then the normal 10 digits number (just like the national numbers I usually call and THEY WORK).
Is Siri not allowed to make calls to specific countries? If so, what are these?
Note that it can call national numbers and also some international numbers I have but only to SOME countries!)
Thanks!! Please help!

Can't make a call with Siri

Can't make a call with Siri, it says "calling x..." then "sorry, i cant call the mobile number of x..."

According to this forum: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2175165/all, it seems that Siri is expecting a 7-8 digit phone numbers excluding the country code and area code, so adding an extra "0" digit or two at the back of the phone number may be able to fix your problem. The phone number should still connect correctly. Try that, it works for me in Indonesia where some phone numbers are still 6 digits.

Can't make phone calls with Siri

I can't make phone call through siri. I'm from Myanmar and local numbers can't be called. Whenever I call, siri said "sorry, I can't make phone calls using that number". I added my country code +95 but it didn't help. But when I call oversea numbers, it works just fine.

Are you running your MacBook Pro off WiFi or Ethernet?

Can't make Offnet Calls with Video Advantage on

I am no expert so I could be missing something basic. However, I have a Cisco phone that is logged in and is enabled for video. I installed the Video Advantage and all works well. I can make onNet calls with Video advantage on. However, I cannot make offnet calls. If I exit video advantage I can once again make offNet calls.
Any Ideas?

How can I make a call with my iPad in Nigeria

How can I make calls with my iPad in Nigeria? Also, why is Nigeria not listed among the Region on iPad?

You can try downloading them as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519. (This is not available in all countries, and must be permitted by the movie studio.)
Otherwise, sync them to your iPad by selecting them on the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Can not make international calls on my internation...

Every time I to make a call to mexico i am told i do not have enough skype credit yet I have been billed by for the international plan, what is the deal, Skype support really seems to suck, I can not even find a link to send them an email in the support pages over this

I am having the same problem. I see this post is several years old. Any answers? I signed up for the international calling plan, but when I try to make a call to Nicaragua it says I don't have enough Skype credits. I am also frustrated in trying to find an answer. I trust that it's a simple problem, but I am frustrated nonetheless.

Problem - Can't make phone calls with my new Tour 9630

I just bought a new phone - Tour 9630. Its a brand new phone on Sprint.
Now I am in India using this phone on Vodafone and all the services are on, I can send and receive emails, texts, go to websites and download stuff BUT I cant make any calls from that phone.
Everytime I try making a call, it just disconnects after 2 seconds as if it was not registering anything.
What I tried:
Change the mobile connection to GSM only and hard reset the phone - DID NOT WORK
I tried calling service provider who mentioned all my services are working fine
I tried changing the sim card on the new phone - DID NOT WORK
I used my Vodafone sim in another - Works fine but not on the new phone.
I called blackberry support at vodafone - they say I might have to update the OS, which does not sound as music to my ears because this a new phone.
I rebooted the phone million times - DID NOT WORK
I wiped the phone and reinstalled everything - DID NOT WORK
Checked and changed all the setting and tried making calls - DID NOT WORK
Anything you could do to please help me so that I can make phone calls will be highly appreciated.

My issue has been taken care of. It seems that Sprint has had an issue with the phone number prefix 238 in the 24151 zipcode. I ended up having to change my phone number and put my phone number under a new zipcode. It all works awesome again. Thanks.

Can't make a call with my 8130

I just noticed today that I can't make calls. Everytime I try to make a call it says "only emergency calls are allowed"
I can send an SMS and when I try to call my cell from another phone it goes to the msg after one ring but my BB wont ring though

Only emergency calls allowed usually indicates a telecom carrier issue. Make sure the indicator near your signal strength is in capitals letters, it should be something like GPRS, EDGE, or 1XEV. If the indicator is in lower case, it means the BB has detected the carrier, but is not being allowed into their network. The telecoms are required by law to allow 911 calls to go through, which accounts for the message you are seeing. If you are roaming, it may be that your home telecom does not have a roaming agreement with the telecom you are currently latched onto.
A couple of things to try:
-Pop the battery out for a few seconds, then put it back in. This will reset the device and all connections, forcing it to reconnect again. This will often fix errors caused by a bad tower connection.
-If you are in your home service area, try resending the registration signal using Options/Advanced Options/Host Routing Table, click for the menu and select Register Now
-If you are roaming, see if there are other carriers in the area you are in using Options/Mobile Network
If none of these work, you are probably going to have to contact your carrier.

Can I make a call with Ipad 4 WiFi + Celluar

I brought Ipad4 Retina display WiFi Cellular, Having mindset that I can use in emergency as phone. But I don't see any options to make a call other than FaceTime.

There are 3rd party Telephone VOIp apps available similar to facetime audio that will allow you to place a call over the internet but an ipad is not a cellular phone, its cellular function is for data only not voice which is why you see no options for it.
