"Sorry, I'm not able to connect right now."
"Sorry, I don't have a network connection."
These are the only three replies I got from Siri, the new digital assistant, on my new Apple iPhone 4S. I see quite a few people are also having the same problem. The fix is really simple:
- Tap Settings
- Tap General
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Reset
- Tap Reset Network Settings, as shown below.
The phone will reboot. Go back into Settings > Wi-Fi and reconfigure your network settings. All is good!
It seems this is affecting people who upgraded their iPhones with a new iPhone 4S and restored from backup. Apparently the restore operation is not restoring network settings as it should.
Awesome! Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteWorked like a charm! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeletethanks, Jeff !
ReplyDeleteWorked for me! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteWorked great. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteWorked for about a minute. Tried it again and it still couldn't connect.
ReplyDeleteYou rock thanks!
ReplyDeletehmm I tried that and it didn't work, also turned the phone off as others had and it didnt' work.
ReplyDeletemy friend who is here and using the same network has no problems!
I wonder what could be causing this

ReplyDeleteFantastic, worked perfectly. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI tried this and it did not work.

ReplyDeletedid not work
ReplyDeleteWhen this happened to me the first time, it was under my home wifi. I forgot the network and reconfigured and it worked. It happened again later while I was under 3G. Tried the fix above and it still doesn't work. I'm beginning to think its server overload on Apples end.
ReplyDeleteHad to reset "all settings" for this to work for me but it worked. My data was not touched. AS a second level of help, everyone try that.
ReplyDeleteHi, this did not fix the problem for me.
ReplyDeleteNot working for me either. :(
ReplyDeleteStill not working. I hope apple gets their server issues fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteNot working for me either, sorry. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteOut of the box I had to enable Siri. Siri worked fine Friday night through earlySaturday morning. In town later this morning with free WiFi and 5 bar 3G, Siri had network issues. Later in the afternoon all was well and Siri was able to communicate. Scary future when we all iCloud our iTunes music, videos, pictures and data.
ReplyDeleteWotked for me, thanks!
ReplyDeletedidn't upgrade my iphone, my first one ever. sometimes it works, other times it doesn't. it is not an apple server issue either. i have 2 phones here, the other one works every time with siri, and very fast as well. the problem one works maybe 1 out of 10 times.
ReplyDeletedidn't work for me :(
ReplyDeleteNot working for me either!!
ReplyDeleteThis problem has been intermittent for me but it has gone on for over an hour today so I tried this fix...didn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteNot true on the upgrade of phone, mine was a new account. Tried your solu and it worked, thanks for posting!!
ReplyDeleteResetting All Settings worked for me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNew iPhone customer, no upgrade. Siri worked for a while and then couldn't connect to the network. Resetting the network solved the problem. It happened again the next day. Resetting the network didn't fix it. Later on, after the phone froze up and I had to do a hard reset, Siri started working again. Siri definitely has issues here.
ReplyDeletetried and it didn't work for me
ReplyDeletethank you for the effort
