Ok, it looks like I need to correct something here. The messages
actually had to be splitted into multiple smaller ones. However, the
number of messages being sent according to the provider is still too
high.

The one from August 10 had 356 chars, the one from August 11 had 334
ones, so with 160 characters per message both should have fitted into 3
messages each if I'm not mistaken, right?

Title:
  High costs due to SMS being sent multiple times

Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When sending text messages, Ubuntu displays the loading spinner for a
  very long time. In the provider's monthly reports, I can see that the
  message has been sent multiple times, even though I only sent one
  message to one recipient and the message was short enough not to be
  broken into separate ones.

  ======= Old 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).
