Lynne, You first need to turn Siri on within the settings. Voice dialling is turned on by default.
Once turned on, you then hold down the home button to wake Siri. You can ask Siri questions such as: Remind me to phone my Mother tomorrow Wake me up tomorrow at 7am What is the weather going to be like today, will I need a rain coat? What time is it currently in New York? Send a message to... or send an email to..... How many dollars can you get to the pound? How many kilgrams is there in a stone? Who is Madonna? What is your name? How old are you? Are you male or female? Tell me a joke Goodnight Siri (you get a witty response if it is daytime) What is your favourite colour? What is the meaning of life? Beam me up Siri Define the word ..... Who is the current prime minister of the united kingdom? Call ... Play music by .... Set timer for 30 minutes Tell me a joke Siri I love you Create a new note You can also ask Siri mathematical questions, advance or basic. You can ask Siri to look subjects up in wikipedia, or ask it to do a google search for example. You can aks it to read all new messages or emails etc Try crazy things and just enjoy it. I would now be lost wihtout Siri, I even dictate all my messages and set up appointments etc with Siri. It is just a real shame we do not have access to businesses in the UK yet.
