Can't Pair my Plantronics Voyager 521 to iPhone..

I turn on my Bluetooth on my iPhone... I then turn on my headset, my phone sits and "Searches" forever and ever... until I give up. I turn off the WiFi on my iPhone before doing this, and even turn off the computer in my house... I have tried turning the Bluetooth off and back on, on my iPhone, still searching forever.... Help?

I tried that after I read your post, it did not work.

I have never paired this bluetooth with any other phone, in fact it is brand new and I bought it the other day when I bought the iPhone...

So now I have tried pairing by still having my wifi on, I have tried with it off, and I have reset all the settings and tried pairing it before I even setup wifi, and still all it does is search search search.....

Any other ideas?

The post about the "being paired with another phone" issue is incorrect; in fact the same bluetooth headset can be paired to as many bluetooth things as you like. The issue I had at first was making sure the red and blue light were blinking as according to the directions. (520) It's a fairly easy bump of the toggle on the Plantronics 520 - you simply need to make sure red and blue are blinking - no problem after that. Only annoying issue I have now is that the phone chooses when to allow the Plantronics to answer - sometimes it's automatic, sometimes I have to punch through the menu to have the thing work.
