I wonder to know how to send a file (.jar , .mid, etc) into handphone
using SMS?

 SMS is capable of sending binary and plain-text content to handsets.

 Binary content would be like monophonic ringtones (RTTTF) and WAP Push
 messages.

 Plain text is just that -- plain text.  It could include a URL.

 WAP can be served by Apache without modification.  Many folks use PHP or
 Perl to write a script that sends the WAP header so the phone knows to
 expect WAP instead of the default HTML.

 All larger (i.e. 1Kb+) binary files, .mid, .jar, .mmf, etc are delivered
 via the Internet.  You can use WAP, though some phones can use HTML.
 There is a great PHP library to handle this called HawHaw.  Google it.

 In order to deliver large binary files, you must be running a web server
 that contains the content.  An SMS is sent to the handset (either a binary
 wap push, which contains a message + a URL and almost forces a phone to go
 to that URL, or a plain text SMS with the URL as part of the text) with
 the URL reference to the content you want to send them.

 Please note that WAP Push IS NOT supported by every carrier.  Some support
 it, some do it differently, some don't do it.  WAP Push is not guaranteed
 to work, while plain text almost always does.
