My wife and I both have iPhone 4S’s. Right now, both of us on the same network, within feet of each other – my Siri works, hers does not. Says it can’t connect, try later. She’s been having this issue with her phone for 2 days. Mine… no problems.

We’ve turned siri of and back on, restarted the phone, no luck. Any suggestions?

You might try calling the nearest Apple store and see what they have to say. On the rare occasions when I’ve had a question or problem involving an Apple product I’ve found the people at Apple’s stores to be very pleasant and helpful.

You might try a full reset. But, before you do that, ask the good folk at Apple.

Easy, it’s just a case of “if a woman answers hang up”
