Yeah, I agree regarding SIRI's strange behavior sometimes. If I say to text a particular phone number, most of the time it works fine. But about one out of ten times, she will say "You don't seem to have an app for that". Oh well...

Definitely odd, but typical SIRI nonsense. I still can’t believe when I sometimes ask SIRI to call a certain business like the Sears department store how it finds and lists all Sears stores in a 300 mile radius but not our local one which is half a mile away from my house. The same goes for our British Columbia Liquor Store, it finds them in all the town and cities some of which are hundreds of miles away since I live in northern BC where towns are often far apart, but it won’t find my local BC Liquor Store which is a 6 minute walk from my house. I really hope in iOS 11 SIRI will get major smarts, but then again I did hope that last year. Now, however, with the rumour that Apple will release an Echo/Google Home type speaker possibly also with a camera maybe they finally make SIRI a lot smarter.
