Iphone 4s- Siri cannot make phone calls?

Got the Iphone 4s yesterday! Love it but am having one problem with Siri. Siri cannot seem to make phone calls when i ask it to. I have the name in my contacts and everything and Siri says calling "____" then says sorry i cannot dial "____" mobile number. I can text fine with Sir but cannot call. Is it something in the settings i have to change?


Thanks for the help!

I had the same problem. I solved it by letting my carrier (Verizon) set up the phone over the phone. It's a dial of #228 for me but it may be a different for you if you have a different carrier. It takes a few minutes. Just follow the directions and a message tells you that your phone setup is complete. I have not had that problem since.

Hello... Hello... Any admins here? We are your customers and we are not got the iPhone 4s from free! And today I would like to say sorry about that words! In my country Cambodia, iPhone is very popular! Newspapers and magazines here posted the users of iPhone about 80% to 90% used it! Eventhough, the apple store is not available here but we still spend amount of money to buy it from the US or China with the original ( GSM phone )... And now we got a problem with Siri that's called really very helpful of personal assistant? But now it cannot help us to call local calls or spend any SMS! If you are trying to fix it or not, please giving us a reply! I am looking forward to hearing from you since the phones sold like hot cakes from a few days later of the phone release!

Hi, i live in Cyprus too, and had this problem. I think I have fixed it.


Make sure that all your local contacts have +357 in front of their numbers, and you also need to make you do the same with YOUR number. Go to your own contact card to make this change.


As soon as I did this, Siri has worked perfectly making local and international calls.
