BT is working for me, pairs with my rMini flawlessly when using handoff.

I had to return my iPhone 6 back because of the Verizon Edge program someone in my family doesn't know how does it work with Verizon Edge so i have to buyout the iPhone 6 without the contract.

Same here...Bluetooth worked beautifully for both of my cars and wireless headsets. First time in awhile, Bluetooth worked flawlessly coming from Android and iOS.

Why? I have to suffer bc of someone else's ignorance? If they need me to explain it to them I can.

Sorry for being off topic but is the family member on your plan? It seems you're having a lot of problems getting the phone you want because of what your family is telling you.

I didn't experience any problems pairing my Bluetooth headset with my iPhone 6.

Had a friend and his wouldn't connect. Deleted all previous blue tooth pairing and it works. That's a known work around.

Did all of this and it still doesn't work. So I thought that I would take the SIM out of my 6 and put it back in my 5s, paired the 5s with the Sync system and it works flawlessly!!

BOTH are running 8.0.2.

Got an appointment at the Genius Bar this afternoon.

I get to my car and tried to pair the phone. The phone wouldn't stay paired when I turned off either the phone, or the car. I thought this was odd. Maybe I did something wrong in pairing it. I tried to see if I could get some information from the internet via cell data, and low and behold, no cell data, either. No LTE. Just 4 G and no internet connectivity.

Yesterday, I took the phone to AT&T to provision a new sim and see if that would work. It didn't. And I tried to see if I could get the BT working, too. I checked the car manual to see if I was pairing right and I was. So....to say the least, I was very disappointed because I was dying for a bigger screen!

Are you talking about cell data with the phone or when connecting to your car? ...You said you had no cell data, but, could you make calls? If you could then the issue is with your prepaid account not being set up properly with AT&T (or accidentally put in airplane mode?). If all was ok on their end, then perhaps the phone had 8.0.1 installed on it? I would check as this caused these cell issues. (see next quote too).

Could it have been 8.0.1 booting from the box? 8.0.1 is known to have broken cellular connectivity

OP: As far as bluetooth connectivity goes:

In any case, it's an iOS 8 issue that affects some users on various iPhones, not just the 6/6+. I have read on other forums the 8.1 beta fixes many BT issues. 8.1 should be out sometime this month.

(The sim would have nothing to do with Bluetooth, the sim only has to do with connection to your particular cell carrier over cell radios.)

Just to update this...I went to my appointment at the Genius Bar, I explained the problem and what I had attempted to do to remedy the issue. They did their diagnostics and promptly gave me a new phone. It was loaded with 8.0 and paired flawlessly with my Ford Sync. I could receive and make calls. I was hesitant to update to 8.0.2, but just did and the hands free is working!!

I don't know if it was a hardware issue, but I am completely satisfied with my 6 now!
