Older generation iOS devices users who are fortunate enough to be benefitting from a jailbreak have tried numerous methods to get Siri function on their device, most of which has been centered around the use of the Spire software released by developer Grant Paul. Unfortunately one of the issues is that Spire requires access to a purposely set up proxy server, most of which creators charge monthly fees to connect to making it cheaper to just buy an iPhone 4S for official access to Siri.

One of the best things about the WordJelly Siri server is that it is provided totally free of charge to all who wish to access it via chpwn’s Spire tweak. The list of included features is quite extensive. It even supports native apps like the Music, Notes Reminders and SMS apps right out of the box. Social integration is one of the servers unique selling points, offering users the ability to audibly call up Facebook feeds and statuses or even view a specific Twitter timeline directly within the Siri GUI. Reminders, notes and the creation of text and email messages is also one voice command away, as is the ability to call up certain financial info using the Stocks app.
Considering the server is also compatible with the popular AssistantExtensions package that is widely used and available within Cydia, it seems a no-brainer to give it a try if you are a user of an older generation device who is craving some Siri attention. It is worth bearing in mind that this is a free solution and will more than likely suffer from periods of overloading and degraded service from time to time.
