Hi Alan, I can't say I have seen this before, she will call a spoken phone number in my experience. I have seen something related however, in that if I first ask her to find a phone number for a business, which she does and then asked me if I want to call it, and I said yes, she asked me who I want to call. Or I should say he, since my Siri is a mail. Anyway, Siri definitely has some rough edges that need to be fixed yesterday. Mary
