Forget about BIP, it's probably too complex for what you're trying.

You can simply use the Bluetooth SIM Access profile with a compatible
mobile equipment. From your program you simply discover the Bluetooth
channel for that profile, open a connection and send APDU.

Check out [1]this discussion.

You'll need the SAP spec, download it from [2]here.

Use the Linux BlueZ stack. If running Debian it's only an apt-get
install bluetooth away.

Cordially, Ismael
