Q: siri won't work iphone

After a full restore on a iPhone 5, Siri does not work properly from either towers  or Wi-Fi. Both the towers and wi-fi signals were strong. Siri used to work very well. I used to push the button and say to  Siri, "Call Smith's Flowers and Gifts in Midland, Michigan."  Siri would call the number just fine. Now, it finds businesses in Illinois and Indiana. I used to say, "Call Fred Welsh in Midland, Michigan" and it would be done. Now, Siri doesn't understand.  I tried saying, "Call Fred Welsh in contacts Midland, Michigan" and Siri changed it to Fred Velsh. On another occasion, Siri got it correct and made the call.

 

Since the problem surfaced, after full restore, I have tried:

 

1. Turning Siri off, then turning off "Enable Dictation". thirty seconds later I turned "Enable Dictation" and Siri back on.

2. I have shut down the phone by holding the power button for 20 seconds.

3. Cleaned the microphone. (I doubt if this helped because when Siri displays back to me the text of what I said, she is correct.)

4. Changed the SIM card.

5. Made sure software is up to date.

 

 

Suggestion would be appreciated.

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.3.5
