I hope someone else can learn from this.

Have a good day! ☺️

Hi Sonu,

We usually see this error when the internet connection is not stable. Try connecting to another network, preferably either WiFi 5GHz or a higher speed mobile network.

Close all other apps so nothing else is using data, and then try to set up Siri again via the Hey Siri toggle.

Well… I tried all of these things (and a couple of them I had already done…and still no luck. For some reason, as I was looking over the settings again…I decided to try a different voice again (I’ve tried this at least 3 times already). For some reason, I guess one of these many resets was waiting on me to try the voice ONE MORE TIME. Siri began speaking with a lovely South African accent! I changed to normal English and she’s still working on my Maps now tell me where to turn! It shouldn’t be this difficult… but at least I now know the phone is not defective! Thanks for all of the help.

Hi Dean,

Let’s try a couple of other things. Try each suggestion and then test.

1) Turn off Screen Time completely in settings, screen time. Then, restart.

2) Reset Siri by turning off Hey Siri in settings, Siri and search and re-train Siri for voice voice commands

3) reset network settings on your iPhone. Go to settings, general, reset, reset network settings. This does removes all saved network settings like WiFi passcodes, so make sure you have access to those to re-enter

4) if that didn’t help, it’s possible there is some random setting getting in the way. The best way to handle this situation is by resetting all settings. Doing so removes all customizations for sound settings, display settings, etc. and returns them back to factory defaults. It does NOT remove data.

Please backup before you reset all settings via iCloud or iTunes or Finder. Then go to settings, General, reset, reset all settings

Thanks for the great tips, Elizabeth… but Siri will still only send me a text… she won’t talk!

This impacts texts and directions in maps using CarPlay.

I would go by the store, but, of course, it is closed.

I’m beginning to wonder if there is a flaw in the phone itself as it was brand new – out of the box.

Hi Peter,

Make sure that Type to Siri is not enabled in your accessibility settings.

If using iOS 13, go to Settings > Accessibility and scroll down to Siri. Toggle off Type to Siri–if it’s already on, try toggling it on, wait, and toggle back off.

Hi Dean,

Make sure your ringer silent/mute button is not on–its the button above your volume controls. If you see an orange or red line, it’s on. Try toggling it off–you screen should show a message with either ringer volume control or ringer silent mode. You want to see the volume control.

On your device, go to Settings > Siri & Search > Voice Feedback. Try changing this setting to Always on.

It sounds like you may also have enabled an accessibility option called Type to Siri–to check, go to Settings > Accessibility and scroll down to Siri. Toggle off Type to Siri if it’s on. If not, toggle it on, wait for 30 seconds, and toggle it off.

Maps would pause for a second or two, but no directions ever were spoken.

Waze and other services work correctly.

I also am not able to “listen” to text messages.

I have reset the phone several times to no avail; however, I have noticed that the “enable Siri in locked mode” command/toggle is continually “grayed-out”.

I have been unable to activate this and wonder if that is part of the problem.

This kind of defeats the notion of “hands-free”.

By the way, when I ask questions, I do get answers (in text) they just are not spoken!
