Has anyone had problems with Siri and texting? An example:
Me: "Hey Siri, send a text to Janice"
Siri:"What would you like to say to Janice"
Me: "be there in 10"
Siri: "Your message to Janice says, be there in 10. would you like to send?"
Me: "send"
Siri: "I'll send your message to Janice."
Two minutes later I see "Message failed to send".
Then I see this: (And this is a list of many contacts it has happens)

Hi
It may help to follow the steps here:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thank you, but that is not the problem.
Since those are green bubbles it looks like you are having SMS problems. You might want to contact your cell provider and have them check the provisioning on your iPhone.
Thank you! What denotes whether a text is sent via iMessage or SMS? I was in strong wifi when this happened and I was LTE . .. it did not matter. I went to the Genius bar and they did a hard reset. Now everyone is getting my text from my iCloud account vs. my cell number AND this "null" problem is still happening but only when I use "Hey Siri"!! So weird!
Do you really think Verizon can help?
Yours, Rachelle
If you have your iPhone set to send as SMS if iMessage is not available it will do so. On the picture you added does that person have an iPhone or some other model phone?
They are iPhone users. Non of the genius bar peeps ever saw what was happening with my texts! They were in shock. I tested it in front of them and it did same behavior! I've been using Hey Siri since day one, and this is the strangest thing!
Did they have you try turning off iMessage in your settings and then logging back into iMessage?
You may also need to Restore your iPhone from your backup.
They did not tell me to sign out of iMessage . . But I will.
As far as restoring from a back up, I spoke to them about it but have not decided to do so yet. To do that I'll need to wipe my phone, correct?
Thank you! Rachelle
I would definitely try logging out of iMessage first, logging back in and then in Settings > Message check your send from settings.
Yes, it will wipe your iPhone but that is why you need to back it up before you attempt it.
I have checked my 'send from' in iMessage settings, that is why it is so weird, it is set to send from *********
