I need to have my wife call me with Siri to one number in an emergency without going through the ritual of choosing the right number.

How do I do this

iPhone XR

Thank you

The objective is to make it simple in an emergency. I created a contact with one number and called it "husband" or something similar.

It didn't work until I reset her watch because airplane was on and didn't turn back on until I restarted, but that's another story

Following up on deggie’s reply, Identify the phone numbers in your own contact, and then have your wife use those references like call my husband at work or call my husband on his mobile, or use whatever field that you use in the contacts app to identify those numbers.

I say something like, call my wife at home, call my wife at work, call my wife on her mobile depending on which number that I want to use. I have her contact set up with work number, home number and mobile number.

Have your wife say, "call husband on iPhone" or "call husband at the office" or something similar.
