Q: After iOS 10 Upgrade, Siri cannot send text messages.
I have an iPhone 6. I upgraded to iOS 10 (10.0.1) this morning. Everything seems to be working fine except for Siri is unable to send text messages. It was working fine prior to the upgrade.
"Hey Siri" responds. I will tell it to "send a message to Patti xxxx mobile." Siri responds and asks what would I like to say. I then say the message. It records the message like normal and asks if I want to send it. I say "yes". It replies "Your message has been sent".
I then get an error message saying that the message was unable to send. The message is then listed with an addressee of: _$!<mobile>!$_ The message below is "Message Send Failure"
Any thoughts? Thanks for your time.
iPhone 6, iOS 10
