Fix Siri’s ‘I’m Not Able To Connect Right Now’ Error On iPhone 4S

A large handful of new iPhone 4S owners have run into a troublesome error where Siri is basically rendered useless because it can’t connect to the internet. Fortunately, the good folks over at Addictive Tips have discovered a possible solution and it’s pretty simple. All you need to do is reset Siri. Just follow these steps to get the job done:

  1. Open up your iPhone’s Settings application and go to the General tab. Set the Siri toggle switch to “Off”.
  2. Set your phone aside for a few minutes and don’t use it.
  3. Still within the General section, go to the Reset tab, reset your network settings, and wait for your phone to reboot.
  4. Go back into the General settings and turn Siri back on.

While this fix won’t work for everyone, it seems to be helping quite a few people. If you’re a new iPhone 4S owner experiencing the issue, let us know how it works out for you in the comments.

    I’ve discovered another fix for failure to connect to a network is listed below.

    1) Obtain sim removal pin
    2) Remove Optus or Vodafone sim card and discard
    3) Insert Telstra sim card
    4) Enjoy 3G access in the darkest depths of any building

    Jesting aside, I know someone that has issues using Siri because they’re with Optus and their 3G access frequently drops out when they’re inside various buildings, thus rendering Siri useless.

    Probably worth noting that reseting your Network settings will lose all your saved Wifi Passwords – highly annoying..
