With the 5.1 update the ability to use Siri to make a call while a pass code lock is active has disappeared. There used to be a settings switch for this, but that seems to be missing as well. Anyone else bothered by this, or find a work around?

Are you sure about that? I can still make calls with Siri when the phone is locked with a passcode.

On my iPhone 4, with 5.1, the setting is under General -> Passcode Lock --> Voice Dial.

That's not Siri though, that's the old voice commander. Only option for Siri under passcode lock is to turn Siri on or off.

This is all true. So I took a different approach and turned off Siri and then there was the option for voice dial ( under passcode lock), I turned it on, restarted Siri, and now I can make Siri call people for me while the phone screen is locked!

Yeah, was a bit of a shot in the dark.
