Siri is not working AT ALL on new iphone 4s. Anyone else having trouble?

Try turning Siri off, reboot the iPhone, then turn Siri on again.

Siri requires some sort of Internet connection to work properly. If you don't currently have a 3g or wifi connection, that might be your problem.

Siri hasn't work for me since yesterday morning (11/27). I see all these comments about shutting Siri off then on and rebooting. That is rediculous. I should not have to do this to get it to work. It's problematic that it won't even set reminders or send messages unless it can connect to the backend. I'm very disapointed in Apple even though I love their products.

I use Siri mostly for dictation. It was working intermittently for me yesterday. Mostly not working. I'd dictate. It would give me the nice purple dots and then no text would appear on the screen. At some point it became faster to hunt and peck. Then I'd get frustrated with that and try to dicate again and it would work for awhile.

Today, however, NOTHING. If I try to use Siri for anything, I get "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while." or "There's something wrong and I can't answer your questions right now. Please try again in a little while."

I've tried all the suggested fixes. Turn off Siri. Turn off my phone. Disconnect from my wi-fi. Do all three at once. Nothing works.

Siri doesn't love me any more.

On another thread here someone posted that they talked to Apple customer service and Apple knows that the problem is their server. They are "working on it".

It is not your phone or your connection. It is the server at Apple.

This has been going on for days, worldwide, so don't expect a sudden fix.

Where do you guys live?it works perfectly in London

US and Canada seem to be the main problems. Glad it is still working for you...

4S, Arizona, Verizon, iOS 5.0.1

So you invented it and now it don't work for you.it doesn't make sence.i can see a lot of people from north America are not happy with apple

"There's something wrong. I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."

It started doing this two days ago frequently. I have turned Siri on and off. It doesn't matter. Where is this problem coming from! Do I get a partial refund for not being able to use a feature that I spent an extra $200 to buy over an iPhone4?

It really is a testament to how amazing Siri is that we get so upset that Beta (http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html) software stops working. Since the release of iPhone 4S I have more or less stopped typing on my 4S and those few days where things weren't working have been painful. The best we can do is hope that Apple can bring the up Siri from Beta to production as soon as possible because it has really changed my expectations and the user experience.

Mine quit working yesterday. SOOOOooo frustrating! I tried rebooting several times. I tried hannahat's thing of turning Siri off and rebooting - 3 times. Nothing...

BUT....

I tried this and it worked! Yeaaa, Siri is now working again....

Settings/General/reset

follow instructions. It didnt erase my data or my apps.

Hasn't worked for me since yesterday morning. Getting message, "Can't take requests right now. Please try again in a little while" Tried resetting, rebooting, turning off and on, etc. All the mentioned fixes. Still not working. What's the deal?

Yep, *****, I heard it was a sever issue, so nothing you do to your phone will help.

What did you reset, network or all settings?

General / Reset / Reset All Settings

Then just follow the instructions and go through the New Phone set up (automatically takes you there).

It works. Really.
