Siri not working on iPhone 4S iOS 6

We bought my wife an iPhone 4S yesterday and updated it to iOS 6 today. Now, Siri is not working properly. She won't respond at all to the first thing that is said to her after holding the home button, and after you ask her your question a 2nd time, she just says that there is a problem and asks you to try again (which obviously doesn't work). Does anybody have ANY IDEA what's going on here? As a side not, I also own an iPhone 4s which I updated to iOS 6 on Wednesday, and Siri is working fine. Thanks a ton in advance for any help!

Switch Siri off then

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

Note: You will not lose any data.

Switch Siri back on.

I am having problems with SIRI and voice recognition since the ios 6 upgrade on my 4S. Most of the time Voice regonition and SIRI just don't respond at all. I thought I had found the solution yesterday when I turned 3G back on (I had turned if off to save battery as the battery is draining fast since upgrade too). All of the sudden SIRI and voice regognition worked. This morning, tried again and NOTHING! Not responding again! I had done a hard reset but this did not help. I will now try turning off Siri and re-doing the hard reset.
