Hi Mitch, I had a similar problem when I first got my iPhone a few years ago. Below is my question and the fix for the problem. Hope this helps you as well.
Original Message From: Mike B. Hi All, My wife & I received our SE model iPhones yesterday, & what a learning curve this is going to be! I don't know what setting this is but, hopefully that's all it is, a setting. Let's say I ask Siri to open Cellular, well she calls someone like Johnson Photo from my address book instead. If I ask Siri to turn on Voiceover she'll call someone else. Is this just a setting problem, or am I just flat out doing something wrong?! Thanks much. Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool. Go Dodgers! From: Roger Crome What it sounds like to me is that Siri is not turned on. In iPhones prior to the 4S where SIRI was introduced, the command function of holding the home button in would behave the same as what you are describing. You should go to settings and open SIRI and see if the switch is turned on. If your phone came with the latest IOS, SIRI will be in the main settings list. If it has the prior IOS 9 version, you will have to open settings, then go to general and open this and SIRI will be in this list. Let me know if this works. Either way, we'll figure it out. Roger Take care. Mike.
