No, it’s not just you: Siri is down for users around the country, hard, with no ETA or fix in sight.
Users who try to access Siri get this response: “Sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network.”
Of course, Siri’s labeled a beta product, and it’s likely Apple is already working on this problem. We’ll tell you more once we know what the hey’s going on ourselves.

Around the US…. or is that the only ‘country’ which matters!
All fine here in the UK.
I know we’re supposed to excuse these events because it’s beta but it pisses off average users… not what they expect from their iDevices.. I experienced this myself today – pretty darn annoying
First World problem.
Oh dear God, you mean people will have to MANUALLY TYPE their meeting request? OMG! Will anyone remember how to do that?
Hmmmm…maybe Apple put SIRI offline so they can install SIRI 1.0 (as oppose to the current SIRI Beta), and everyone outside the US can do location inquiries. Ya, wishful thinking. But it’s nice to hope. lol
Yes, it’s the only country that matters… At least according to global economics…
You have got the humors :-)
I don’t know what people are complaining about. Siri works fine for me. I’m in Washington state.
Hmm, seems like maybe they started that mass marketing campaign a little early.
My iPhone 4 s did this & turning off the wifi when searching for a network fixed the problem. I think it was trying to connect to network and forgot about 3G . My network is AT&T hope this helps.
it’s not really a big mystery. too many folks are hitting the servers at the same time, same as every other time that Siri has had network issues.
in this case it is the only country that matters cause its the only one where folks are freaking out that they can’t connect to Siri so she won’t answer their inane attempts as being funny by asking her stupid questions
Starting to worry me that maybe things have loosened up at apple with Jobs gone, developers might be getting too relaxed? Just had a bad experience I didn’t expect after using the Cards app they introduced along with 4S.
You realize Jobs oversaw ALL of iOS 5 and Siri’s development, right? Apple didn’t just develop those things the month after Jobs left. Maybe Steve wouldn’t have announced Siri at that time, but I doubt it. With the huge hiatus of an iPhone, we needed something to think the next iPhone was worth buying. And I’ve had no issues with any Apple application aside from software like integrated Siri.
Yeah, it kinda sucks that I get this new feature and it’s slow when it works and occasionally Siri just gives up and tells me to eat a sandwich. At least I get a sandwich.
wrong, brownlee. it works just fine in the U.S.
