Siri starts to make the call then she says " uh oh i can't make your phone call" - ok I went out to apple store as no one could figure this out the first guy could not figure it out either- he turned Siri on and off and then asked me to turn phone and on- no fix - then told me the wait is about 1 hour and 45 min- or I can go call the 800# - I asked if I could talk to manager and he came over and tried a bunch of stuff and was stumped also- couldn't fix it- he took the phone into the back to head genius and said i had to rest the phone- he held the power button and volume down and rest the phone- that erased all my wifi pass codes and other stuff but siri no works- he said they had had several phone this has happened to- I'm up and running now and siri working good
Not sure why a hard reset via the power and volume down would wipe your wifi passwords and other stuff. Are you sure he didn't reset your network settings?
He would have had too to lose wifi info, which btw has never fixed a single problem for me and is one of the most annoying things to do esp. with iCloud.

[doublepost=1487904009][/doublepost]I had the same problem just before i uploaded this comment. What i did is that i turned siri off and then back on again, and it worked for me. Hope it does for you too.

I had the same problem, but turning off the phone completely (not just rebooting it), and turning it back on after a minute fixed it. Previously, I went through Apple phone support with no success and a Genius Bar appointment, at which they concluded that the issue was corrupted software and that the only solution was a factory reset and a reinstallation of all my apps and data. We couldn't even do a reinstall from my iCloud backup, they said, because it would reinstall the software glitch again. I was at the Apple Store for my third appointment on this issue, with an external hard drive in tow so that we could drag my data off the iPhone before we reset the machine. On a hunch, the tech did some diagnostics that showed that my RAM clock speed was off. He asked me how often I shut my iPhone off. I told him "never," but that I reboot it from time to time, but he said it's not the same thing in terms of the iPhone's allocation of RAM. Turning it off and on a minute later did the trick — and saved me from having to spend much of my weekend resetting up all the apps and data on my iPhone. Incredibly simple solution for a problem even the first two Apple support guys couldn't solve.
