Communicate via serial over Bluetooth with XBee3 Zigbee?

Hello, just got an XBee3 to use for serial communication with a GPS. This device is advertised to have zigbee (obviously) but also it supports Bluetooth. Can I communicate from my Android device using Bluetooth to a single XBee3?

From the manual it seems maybe Bluetooth is only used for configuration of the device. That would be a waste. I do have another xbee but was hoping to not require it and a bunch of dongles/connectors/otg to connect my phone. If Bluetooth cannot work I’ll need to use a computer and said dongles etc instead.

Thanks for any input you may have!
