I have two iphones, both 3Gs , both on iOS 6.1.3 and in bluetooth mode they search endlessly for each other without success.

They also now fail to communicate via bluetooth with my printer using HP ePrint which worked well before.

IF AN APPLE PHONE CANNOT PAIR WITH AN APPLE PHONE THEN SURELY THIS IS AN APPLE PROBLEM?

iPhone 3GS, iOS 6.1.3

First off, the iPhones will not connect to each other via Bluetooth. This has never been a feature. If you are using an AirPrint enabled printer, it does not use Bluetooth, it uses wi-fi and has to be connected to the same wi-fi network as the phone. See this support document for troubelshooting AirPrint. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/
