Can't make a call with Siri

I've just done the latest update and since I did I can't use Siri unless connected to my Wifi. It won't work on 3G. It sorted the other problem about not being able to dial local numbers but then created this problem which is much worse. When using 3G it tells me that Siri is not available. I live in Cyprus.

Don't forget Siri is still in beta. You should expect such glitches now and then. I get them at times.

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.

Siri can only recognize certain phone number formats, for instance (xxx)xxx-xxxx, Siri will recognize this number as needing a "1" or "0" in front of it, therefore a simple solution would be to add an extra digit to the end of the phone number. By doing this, there is no change in what phone number is actually dialed, because the rate of speed that Siri dials out at is so fast that the extra digit isn't recognized at all, therefore, Siri will make the call correctly.
