I was so excited for ios 6, thinking for sure Siri would now make international calls. But, alas, when I ask her to call a person who’s number begins with 001, she responds, “Sorry, I can’t place this call.” WNY IS THAT, I have many international calls that I regularly make...???
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
When you enter phone numbers into contacts make sure you enter the number with the prefix that dials international number out from your country. the phone can do that automatically for you with the + sign. If you wanted to ring me my country code is 61 my area code is 07 and my phone number is XXXXXXXX so you would enter my number in contacts as +617XXXXXX. the leading zero drops out. To ring my mobile (cell) you would enter it as +614XXXXXXX even thou my cell number is 0419XXXXXX
Not sure I understand..one of the numbers I am calling is 011.509 plus 8 numbers. 011 means international, 509 is the country code. I tried to enter it is +509.... But Siri still said she cannot dial the number. What am I doing wrong?
Like I said the leading zero in a number or area code sometimes causes problems. My cell number is 0419 XXX XXXX but if someone wants to call me from overseas they need to enter my number in their contacts as +61419 XXX XXX.
The + is the international dialling code 61 is my country code and the rest is my cell number (with the leading zero removed. If someone wants to call me and they are in the same countr as me then either +61419 XXX XXX OR 0419 XXX XXX will reach me.
One more time...I'm trying to call Haiti...country code is 509, followed by 8 numbers for any phone. From the USA you call 011.509.XXXX.XXXX. Siri won't do it. If I put +509... , or +1.509... , or +11.509..., or +01.509... , none of these work. It appears to me that Siri just refuses to make international calls!
Have you tried making the call the old fastened way?
Siri still won’t make international calls
