If you have people you frequently text it usually also helps if you add them to your Favourites with their mobile number, SIRI usually then does not ask. However, I agree that sometimes it is stupid, I have a lot of business contacts where I have a office number, fax number, mobile number and email and sometimes when I say Call so and so it asks me which number and it actually lists also the fax number and this also happens when I say "Text so and so, I think SIRI should be smart enough to know that I can't text a home or fax number. OK, so theoretically you can I think text to a landline and most phone companies at least here in Canada will try to do speech recognition and convert what you say into text and then a TTS voice will read this to the person you texted, but if a mobile number is present SIRI should assume that you want to text to that number and not to a home, office or fax number.

But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding. Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts. And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? Nearby explorer sure can.
