What, exactly, are you attempting to pair it with?
You can not pair it with a computer or another phone or tablet.
I'm having this same problem - trying to pair it with a fitbit, or my car, or a bluetooth mouse - no device is recognized by the phone. Bluetooth turned off and on; phone off and on and hard restart. Nothing.

What device are you pairing to and what process does the device require you to do to put it into pairing mode so that it is recognized by your iPhone?
Following the process as outlined for various devices that I’ve previously successfully paired, including a Fitbit luxe, my car’s Bluetooth connection, and wireless headphones. None show up as devices on the phone when they’re in the pairing mode. Not sure about the original poster.
In your case, I would suspect a hardware issue.
