Yes, siri, and in fact any dictation speech recognition on the iphone 4s is server based, if there is a problem with the network connection or apple's servers, it will not work. How do you enable or disable siri, I'm assuming you can do this in settings?

Basically, all commands to Siri appear to time out. Siri issues a message indicating that it's having trouble accessing the network and prompts for another command which it deals with in similar fashion. > > I suspect the system is over loaded by millions who are playing with their new toys by asking the calorie count of a bagel, but it got me to thinking that the 3GS was better since it could call contacts tell the time or play music without benefit of an internet connection. Since IOS runs on the 3GS I decided to try disabling Siri to verify that I could restore the old functionality in the event of a Siri server crash, and indeed it worked. > > I wonder if this was a world wide issue?
