Bluetooth wont work with other phones

I have just purchased a Iphone 4s - the bluetooth does not recognise other phones but does recognise devices such as headphones etc.
Does anyone know why?
I want to transfer my contacts from my old phone
Can anyone advise how to do this. My old phone is a standard size sim card, not the same as the micro size card in the iphone.
Thanks

Can you send the contacts via Bluetooth to your computer, and then import them into Outlook for syncing with the iPhone via iTunes?

What bluetooth EARPHONES work with i-phone 3gs

what bluetooth earphones work with i-phone 3gs i've looked at a couple but found not compatible, so any suggestion's would be great

The iPhone is not designed to pair via Bluetooth to any computer (Mac or otherwise) except for personal hotspot and it will only do that if your cellular plan supports it. Following is a link to bluetooth profiles supported: iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
If you are trying to pair for Handoff or Continuity, note 2 things: 1- Both devices must have bluetooth turned on and they must be in range of each other, but you do not pair the devices as you would for other bluetooth uses; and 2- Handoff and Continuity do not seem to be working for a large number of people and there is no clear answer that is solving this for them.

IPhone 4s bluetooth wont work with car

My Blackberry bold and iPhone 4 were absolutely fine with 3 different cars. I have just upgraded to the iPhone 4s and now the phone connects to the bluetooth but doesnt work properly. It rings and the screen shows that there is a call there, it even turns the radio off but the voice is coming out of the hadset. In previous versions i think you could select Audio Device 'in call' but you cant on the 4s. I have tried it in an Audi, a new Volvo and a BMW so i think that the car kits should be fairly up to date. Please help as i do lots of work miles during the day when on the phone.

i would try turning the bluetooth off and reconnect it and if that does not work reset your phone for it may be something wrong with it. if nothing else works you may have to bring it to the apple store, becuase the 4s you may have may have a bad bluetooth connector. hopes this helps

Can I have 2 Bluetooth connection active at the same time? Works with other phones...

Is it possible to have one Bluetooth connection for "phone audio" and a 2nd connection for "A2DP" music streaming at the same time on my iPhone 5? My car-stereo has Bluetooth for phone calls but NOT for audio streaming. However, there's a 3.5mm aux in on the head unit. On my S5 I can create one Bluetooth connection to the car-stereo and select "phone audio" and a 2nd for my Bluetooth aux-in adapter. It works perfect since months but last week I changed back to an iPhone (5s) and it appears that I can only have ONE BT connection active at a time!? Any ideas anyone?

Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

I've tried with the tools listed in the wiki page. if this is not enough, you could tell me that could make some command, load modules, downloading drivers, etc..

My I-Phone won't pair with my Motorola Roadster. It used to work but stopped. Works with other phones

I have a Motorola Roadster that worked fine with my I-Phone for many months. Some time ago, it would not recognize my phone when I got in the car. I have messed around with re-booting the Roadster and turning both it and the phone off and on in different sequences without an luck. When I try to pair them, I get a pop-up on my phone that says 'Connection Unsuccessful - Make sure your Roadster is turned on and in range'.
I did try my wifes phone, which had never been paired with the Roadster, and it worked fine, which leads me to believe I have some setting in the I-phone that is blocking the pairing.
Any Ideas?

Can my Sim Card work with other phones?

im just wondering if i can use my sim card from the iphone and use it on other gsm phones?

I think the correct phrase is that unlocking an iPhone would void the warranty. It is also worth noting that it would also constrain the device to the current firmware applied to it since updating not only has, but seems likely to continue to, render unlocked iPhones non-functional. Given the lack of warranty, such devices would not be repaired by Apple without cost.
Given you were minded to correct the previous poster, a more articulate and informational response might have been in order.

Make sure there's nothing blocking a contact in the charging port of the phone.

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone

My charger just stopped working. The cord has no visible damage and the plug box works fine with other phone cords. I've had my phone for less than four months now. Will Apple provide a new charger if theirs is faulty? I have not dropped it in water or anything. It was a normal day and I had 20% battery and I tried to charge my phone and it wouldn't charge. The charging pug box works fine with other phone USB cords so I know its something to do with the charging cord.

Yes.
Everything is included in the warranty.

Does MSI Bluetooth works with other vendor mobo's??

Hi,
Sorry, but i can't find any appropriate forum here for asking this. How can I use a MSI Bluetooth Transceiving Key with other manufacturers motherboard?

The USB key will work on any board, the propriety ones that hook up to the board itself won't.

Personal Hotspot is, in fact, the only way to pair your phone & iPad by Bluetooth. File transfer, by Bluetooth, has never been supported on any iPhone.

Yes... to no avail

My iMessage only works with one contact in my phone. I text several people that have the iphone 4s, theirs works with other people. But mine only works with one person. Why?
