RE: I also had Christine's Siri problem, or at least one similar
I currently also have the issue that when I receive a text message I say "Reply" followed by my message and then SIRI asks me to whom I want to send the message to, SIRI does not seem to make the connection that normally "Reply" means to reply/send to the last received person/number.

RE: I also had Christine's Siri problem, or at least one similar
SIRI for me is behaving horribly. I ask it to call somebody who is in my contacts and SIRI says "Calling so and so" giving the name of the person, it may even ask if I want to use Home or Mobile if I have two numbers. I tell it to use Mobile and then it tells me "Sorry I can't make your call" or even worse " I don't see so and so in your contacts" where clearly it found that person before and if I ask to show the same person's mobile number SIRI dutyfully tells me what it is.
