Siri calling numbers that are not in my contacts

my phone is doing the same thing thing … when I say “call arlo” (my son) it calls some Arlo Spa that is not in my contacts … this is an apple bug. Hope they fix it soon. Siri is worthless to me now

When I activate Siri and say call jared, it calls the jewelry store that is not in my contact list, I just got off the phone with apple and they said they don't know whats going on, I would have to create a work order and submit it to apple support. Very frustrating as it has been going on for about 2 months now.

Same with my phone for the last month or so.

I will say "call Pam McDonald", and Siri calls a phone number that belongs to an actual person named Pam McDonald, but not the Pam McDonald in my Contacts. If I add the term "mobile" or whatever phone tag the contact is associated with, it grabs from my Contacts.

This is the same for all of my contacts. Siri tries to pull from the internet first, unless I add what type of phone my contact is tagged with.

Mine has been doing the same thing for 3 months now. I have been to the Apple Store and to AT&T store...and I called Apple Support.....and no one can help. I am afraid that I may have to give up my I phone. It is truly not working for me. and I cannot get help. Frustrated.

Mine is doing the same thing! I now have to pick up my phone while driving to call my husband instead of some random guy with the same name.

I have been having the same issue for over a year now. I go to AT&T and they send me to Apple. I go there, and they send me back to AT&T. No one can solve this problem....so I'm afraid that I'm looking at new phones to buy......I'm sort of getting "done" with my iphone. And with having no help from either of the folks that have caused this.

I’m thinking it has to do with the location services for Siri. Mine asked for precise location to be tuned on to use Siri to make calls. Turn it off and it does not call.

Hello I had the same issue after restoring my backup to a newer iPhone and I fixed it by turning off the contacts from iCloud “you must have your contacts backed up to iCloud obviously”. It asked me to delete or keep on iPhone. I said delete them. I then reenabled the contacts and after they downloaded again and the list is complete. The issue was resolved.

Do you share Contact lists or have people in your contact list that are not folks you know? This can occur with people who share an Apple ID for example.

I solved the problem do not giving access to my location to Siri

I brought my phone into an Apple store and they did a soft reset, and everything has worked perfectly after that.

Yep same thing for me. Some random in my area gets called all the time instead of my wife. What a joke Apple.

It's a nightmare, and it wasn't like that at all before, it seeems that there is an update which made this

No one is answering from apple, there is an answe 2 years ago to disable suggestions, but even after doing thatm I ask to call a friensnamem she goes to a clinic with same name online!!

Not that I know of.
