What I do not fully understand is: AFAIK SMS is sent upstream to the
provider with AT cmds, like this example:

AT+CMGF=1
OK
AT+CMGS="+49170xxxxxxxxxx"
<CR>This is the text message.
+CMGS: 4711
OK

(+CMGF=1 is text mode, =1 PDU mode).

The response from the provider could be OK or ERROR. Have you looked
into the MySQL database in the phone to see what is there about the
messages. If you need how to look into, see here:

Title:
  High costs due to SMS being sent multiple times when having a bad
  network connection

Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When having a bad network connection, Ubuntu tries to send SMS
  multiple times but fails to recognize which messages have already been
  sent, resulting in very high costs due to the same message actually
  being sent several times.

  I found this when looking through my provider's monthly reports and I
  remember being on train journeys with very bad network connections on
  these days. See the attached screenshots.

  ==========

  This happened on a Nexus 4 running on the stable channel (with up-to-
  date images at the given times).
