David, do you have a link to the article you mentioned that indicated Apple's
new Siri limitations are based on the cost of text messages? I've been trying
ato find the actual reason for the change, and there's not much coming up. I'm
also finding reports that it is happening when asking Siri questions, not just
in writing texts. I haven't had a few spare minutes today to run a few tests,
should be able to get to them tomorrow.
Peace,
Ian
