    My iPhone 5 with iOS 6 does make calls with Siri.  Do you have some restriction set?

    If you have the NEW iOS6 & the FaceTime feature is switched "OFF" Siri will NOT make external calls & will say " I'm not permitted to do that" So all you have to do is switch the FaceTime feature "ON" & you should be able to give Siri a voice command to call a number from your contacts or even perform a simple "call home" task. Some people say that if you reset your iPhone via iTunes it will solve the problem, it will until you decide to switch FaceTime off. It is a lot more cumbersome to reset your iPhone rather then open FaceTime & switch it 'ON". Hope this helps you.....

    GoTo: Settings > General > Restrictions > Flip FaceTime to “ON/OFF
