How do I get Siri to work on my iphone 4s?

I just bought a iphone 4s. When I hold the Home button down to access Siri, something called Voice Control pops up on the screen. Which is a way to access my contacts. Nothing related to Siri comes up. I tried going into location services under settings but could not figure it out. Please help me find Siri!!

    The first thing you have to do with SIRI is add your name, if you want it to address you by name, and the language you want to speak, or rather listen to. Go to Settings>General>SIRI>My Info

    Choose your name from the contact list and SIRI will address you by name. Choose the language you want to use and you’re all set. You can make other changes in the area too. They are very self-explanatory, so you won’t need step-by-step directions.

    From far, far away — You can use SIRI by two different ways. If it’s across the room, on the dashboard of your car, or sitting on the table at home, press the home button. Hold it until there are two quick beeps. A microphone should appear on the screen. Start talking. That’s it! Pretty easy, huh? Just check to see if the microphone is on the screen and SIRI is ready for you to start talking and giving orders. You don’t even need to yell or hold it close to your mouth.

    From up, up close — Just pick it up and use is normally. You’ll still hear the two beeps that tell you SIRI is ready for your commands.

    Remember, any voice recognition program has to be “programmed” before it will work properly.

    It’s best if you talk in a normal voice but SIRI still needs you to enunciate (slowly say) many words before it will understand your voice. When you speak slowly and clearly it gets use to the way you speak and will deliver your commands better.

    Always Have a Strong Connection – SIRI uses a remote server to process your words, so having a good connection will transmit your commands better.

    Be Precise – In what you want SIRI to do. Instead of saying, “play iTunes” say, “Play my playlist number 5”. It’s easier for SIRI to understand specific command rather than general commands.

    No Stuttering – Try not to stop in the middle of a command. Try not to use `ummmm’ or change the command in the middle of giving one. Use the whole command in one sentence or one go. SIRI can handle several commands but only if it/he/she has them all at once.

    Speak Names Clearly – Say names clearly. When adding a contact you might have to repeat it several times before SIRI understands. Just say the name again and SIRI will give you an option box for the name. Accents need to be programmed into SIRI before it/he/she will understand the way your pronounce words.

    Choose Relationship – When adding contacts, choose a relationship such as wife, son, daughter so you can say, “Call my wife” or “Call my daughter” and SIRI will dial it right away.

    I just tried https://webmd.im/verispy last year to see if I could Locate my birth-father. My bio father left me when I was 7, and has refused to be a part of my life since. I grew up with my bio Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological father a couple times until now. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his first name, last name, and the street address of a previous address he used to have.

    When the search results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a recent address along with even a phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my biological dad) was there, and he said no but to try back after 5.

    I haven't done anything with the info, But I found what I was wanting to have.

    If you are prey of being robbed on, never had a lover, or too frequently fall under the friend-zone, then to fix all this problems with women you'll need that book https://tr.im/ErxMf , The Tao of Badass.

    Joshua Pellicer is mental performance behind this guide and, in that guide he applies a distinctive approach to relationship and attracting women

    Those are only some of the ideas you will find in this book when approaching girls: originality when addressing women, develop humor or be mysterious.

    With Tao off Badass you'll learn how to speak with girls. Girls are far more social beings than guys and they love to be around those who know how to talk.

    Attractive women get hit on so much that they don’t have time to get to know every single man who wants to talk to her. Within 30-90 seconds, she’s going to decide if you’re a “maybe” or a “no.” A lot of that comes from how you dress. Read here https://tr.im/Zt5no

    It’s not just being fashionable. It’s about projecting who you are. Mixed messages are confusing and make women think you’re trying to hide something or be someone you’re not. Lawyers don’t wear ripped jeans. Musicians don’t dress like accountants. Fun, confident men don’t dress to blend in. And so on.
