I found that Siri acts as you describe when my tried jailbraking my iPhone 5. But when I restored it back to default firmware, it started working normal again. If you are no jailbroken, perhaps a restore of the firmware may fix the issue. Jon … I found that Siri acts as you describe when my tried jailbraking my iPhone 5.

I say 'Remind me to walk the dog when I get home', siri says 'ok i'll remind you, when would you like me to remind you, I can remind you at a time or a place such as home, work, gym', so I say 'when I get home' (which it shows it has heard correctly' so it repeats 'ok i'll remind you, when would you like me to remind you, I can remind you at a time or a place such as home, work, gym' and so begins the infinite loop (until I give up). Home and work addresses are definitely set properly in my 'me' card. I cannot get location based reminders to work with Siri.

I was getting the same message for a couple of days but a few days after that, when I tried it again, it worked like a charm. Of course it started working when I was demonstrating to our IT person that it would not work. Murphy's Law. Have you tried it again recently?

As far as I know, the Exchange-served calendar is active on my company iPhone 5. Any ideas if Outlook has some sort of issue with this type of reminder? Time-based reminders work fine.

It pings your location quite frequently. But, when needed, you can't beat it.
