Neither can't I... there is no Bluetooth file transfer feature on the iPhone... Embarrassing I tell you! My clients all laughed at me when I said, wait I'll transfer a graphic to your phones, and then could not. Why does iPhone not support Bluetooth transfer to other devices... the worst is you still need an App just to transfer between iDevices... what’s up with that?

There is an iOS app that lets you bluetooth transfer files between iOS devices without Wifi.

It's called File Manager (Tap Media, LTD)


I was looking for an iOS app to bluetooth transfer Pages files and PDFs from a non-cellular iPad 3 to an iPhone 5. Basically, I want to write a document on my iPad, transfer it via bluetooth to my iPhone, and email it to my editor--all without using Wifi.
Seems simple, but it's actually hard to find an iOS app that does it
-Bump is cool, but it wouldn't work because it requires a Wifi or cellular connection for both devices.
-File Manager (from TapMedia, Ltd.) will do the trick. You need to download File Manager on both devices, and the transfer isn't as simple as Bump, but it did work for me.


Here's the File Manager transfer process


On your iPad
-Open document in Pages
-Share document to File Manager
-Share document via Bluetooth


On your iPhone
-Open File Manager
-Go to Transfers screen, press "Receive" to download file
-Open file in File Manager
-Share file to Pages
-Share file in Pages via email, convert to Word
-Email file to recipient
