Is there a way to get a phone number from Siri without turning on location services?

In order for Siri to function correctly, Location Services need to be turned on. Whether you think it makes sense or not, it's how Siri operates.

You can provide feedback to Apple here, but I wouldn't expect them to change how they designed to work --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

I'm not sure why you would want to turn Location Services off to begin with?

While I am not 100% certain I understand your issue (you seem to contradict yourself), yes in order to give you accurate information that is geographically significant, location services will need to be on. You obviously already have them on for maps and Safari , why not Siri?

Are you saying you only use Siri for looking up a business number? Never “Siri, what is today’s weather” or “Siri, what movies are showing near me” or any of dozens of similar questions.

If you are concerned about this innocuous feature of Siri you should be using it at all. Turn it off.

I turn on location services for map programs, but Siri doesn't need my location to find a phone number for a business. Is there a way around this issue? I end up having to type a request into my browser to get an answer. It makes no sense.

Okay, suppose I asked for the phone number for "Starbucks." How will Siri know which of the 17,164 Starbucks in the U.S. I'm interested in unless location services are enabled? Even if I were to say, "What's the number for the Starbucks in Springfield, it would need some way to know which of the 93 Springfields in the U.S. I'm asking about. And if you live in a big city, even if you said, "What's the number for Starbucks in Seattle?" you'd probably get a lot of useless answers because not all of the 92 in Seattle would be near you.

If you're typing the question into your browser and getting the answer you want, I'd presume that you have location services enabled for your browser. So I'm not sure what's to be gained by turning it off for Siri.
