Re: Bare Minimum to Talk to Siri?

2014-08-11 Thread RobH.
Siri will go through whichever network is available, so wifi plenty good. 
Cell if not around wifi.  wifi of less than 4mbps is hardly broadband at 
all.  If cell data can handle it, than wifi should.

An iPad with cell data would be a big jump in price, but could go anywhere, 
and still have wifi capability anyway.

Just a wifi model would be cheaper, but still require user to buy a wifi 
router, or trust a public service of some kind.  Not to be recommended. 
Broadband service providers usually provide the wifi gismo as that is the 
thing these days.

Subject: Bare Minimum to Talk to Siri?


I have a friend who has no computer or wi-fi but who is interested in
getting an iPad so he can talk to Siri. What is the bare minimum needed in
order to do this? I always thought Siri came through the cell service so is
that required to be able to use it? Can you engage Siri with an iPad and
wi-fi? What would be the minimum amount of wi-fi service required to do
this?



Thanks for any assistance in helping me climb this learning curve.

Hello Alan,

any kind of Internet connection will do, so if your friend gets Wi-Fi, they 
will be all set. No cell connection is needed; it just means you can't use Siri 
if you're away from Wi-Fi.

Best,
Anna

Yes, I do not have cell phone service for my iPad, although I did pay for the 
cell phone access connector whatever it is called so that I can get cell phone 
service if I choose to do so.  I only use wifi to access Siri now.

You need a connection to the internet be that WI-FI at home or cellular data.  
It's why you get talk, text, and data.  In short, if you can get to the 
internet, Siri will work.
