Siri refuses to call one of my contacts?

Not a service outage, but "Sorry, I can't make your phone call." Siri can call other contacts. Problem is completely repeatable. Used to be able to call contact through Siri.

I had a similar problem with Siri claiming that the individual who was clearly in the contacts list not being callable.
Fixed the problem by turning Siri off and then on again. That reloads the contacts to Siri and fixes the problem.

  • IPhone 5: when I try to call one of my contacts, it tries to send an email instead

    Just got an iPhone 5; when I try to call one of my contacts, the phone defaults to sending an email to the number instead. Is there a default I need to turn off?

    go to a contact> edit the contacts> erase the number that your trying to call and see if in the box it says email

  • What changed ?  Siri refuses to call a number

    When I used Voice Commands on my 3GS and spoke "Call Voicemail Mycompany" into my phone, it would comply and dial the number ...
    (I have a contact called "Voicemail Mycompany" with one business number).
    When I try the same thing on my new 4S (with Siri enabled), she responds with "Calling Voicemail Mycompany's work phone +1408etc ..." ....  then immediately she says "Sorry Scott, I can't call Voicemail Mycompany's work number".   (When I ask her "Why not" she gets all philosophical on me ....)
    The contact "Voicemail Mycompany" has a pause and a password attached ... looks something like this:   +14085551212p12345678#
    Is this a bug ?

    My Problem is the same....
    It as been a while since i had this problem with siri since IOS6, everytime i say to siri, ''callperson x" she recognizes the person x saying calling person x and after a few seconds responds with "sorry i cant call person x in that number".
    Im from Mozambique, Maputo Local numbers are 9 digits Example 845666545 and the country code is +258

    I tryed
    - Reseting siri (On/off)
    - Rebooting Phone (On /off)
    - Changing all the numbers with the country code (+258 for mozambique)
    - Restarting Facetime
    - Enabling facetime restritions
    - On off Iclound for contants..
    - etc..

  • Mac OS X Server Refuses to Authenticate One User for Contacts

    I have a 10.8.5 Server which has suddenly decided to refuse to accept a password for one particular user, but only for Contacts and Calendars.
    The user is a local, ID 502. Changing the password makes no difference. Mail and filesharing still works just fine.
    Sometimes it reports a DAV error 1 in the log. This lead me to suspect it was an issue with Apache, though the web & wiki services are not configured but Profile Manager is. WebDAV does work to mount fileshares for this user though. Just CalDAV and CardDAV don't work any more.
    Any ideas?

  • Stopping Siri from making calls

    Hi guys, is there anyway of stopping Siri from making calls? The problem I am having is that I use Siri on my motorcycle and at high speeds it gets the commands wrong. For example, I say 'play podcasts' and it calls one of my contacts.
    Ross

    My bad.
    I had Airplane mode on but WiFi was also still on when I tested it on my phone.
    Scratch that idea...
    Here's another one.
    If you turn off Siri altogether, you'll revert to the older Voice Control which doesn't rely on a nertwork connection.
    Perhaps, that mode will be less likely to misunderstand than Siri.

  • Is anyone else having trouble with Siri calling someone from your Contacts on the Iphone 5?

    Has anyone had trouble with Siri on the Iphone 5 in dealing with your Contacts.  She gives all of the correct information on scores for the NFL but not if I ask her to call somebody in my contacts. She has no trouble with which movies are playing tonight at my local theaters.
    If I ask her to call someone from my Contacts, she takes a very long time and then says something like this, "Uh oh, there's a problem. Can you try again?" or something of this nature.  Any help appreciated.  BTW I download my information from Itunes and also had to change my sim card in order for Verizon to keep my same telephone number.

    I have not had this problem. I am new to Siri (with an iPhone 5 upgrade from an i4) and Siri has made a number of calls from my contacts. She asks, which John Doe (if I have more than one), which number (if I have more than one) and off we go.
    Maybe, you have some setting wrong.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

  • Why can't siri call any of my contacts?  nor can they locate annything in indonesia? why is this?  aren't they connected to the web?

    i live in indonesia, and siri seems to not be able to locate anything, why is that?  but through gps maps, it works fine.
    and when i tell siri to call anyone on my contacts, it says its not able to, but when i first bought it, it was fine.  why was this?  could it be due to the update of ios 5.01?  can anyone help?

    Hi,
    You cannot manually manage music with match turned on on your iOS device. If you want to manage music manually, you will need to turn off match on your iPhone.

  • Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

    Why cant i use a bought call-tone bought through I-tones for calling tones for just one of my contacts?

    What makes you believe that you can't? To set a custom ringtone (or SMS tone) for a contact, go to that contact entry, tap the Edit button in the upper right. You can then edit both ringtones and SMS tones for that contact.

  • I have an iPhone 4s. Today I went on to my calendar app to find everything deleted from it. Then I went to make a phone call and every single one of my contacts has gone from my phone. Can I get them back and how?

    Whoa whoa no need to go restoring stuff yet, once you've done that check to verify you have done what Overlook2011  IF that doesn't work for calendars ensure your default account for calendars is set to iCloud and in calendars that it is told to "Show all calendars"

  • Why can't i use siri to get directions to one of my contacts

    If i ask siri to get directions to one of my contacts it says that it doesn't have an address for the contact even though all the information is stored in the contact

    The same reason why you can't use it under iOS5. It's exclusive to devices since the iPhone 4S.
    (for selling new products)
    So iPhone 4S, iPad 3, iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5.
    Thinking about other features, you may be interested in 3D-Maps, but there for, you need an A5 CPU or better.
    So iPad2, iPhone 4S, iPad 3, iPhone 5 and iPod Touch 5.

  • I want to see a number with the name when one of my contacts calling me.., i just see his name...i am from egypt there is a problem with a country

    i want to see a number with the name when one of my contacts calling me.., i just see his name...i am from egypt there is a problem with a country

    If someone who is listed in your contacts calls you, you will only see their name. This has nothing to do with the fact you're in Egypt. The only workaround I can see for this is to put the person's number in the name section of the contacts. In other words, put their first and last name in the first name section and their phone number in the last name section.

  • Why is one of my contacts not able to send me any messages or calls when i can call or message them

    one of my contacts cannot send me messages or call , but i can call or send them messages , could i have blocked their number  by mistake

    It is a carrier issue if it's SMS and only some of the contacts.  It may be your carrier or the carrier that your friends are using or the handoff between carriers.
    Apple has nothing to do with it.
