Ok, forget about this! I just found something out. Using some special characters (including some accents included in the name of the messages' recipient) lowers the character count per message to 70!!!
With that in mind, the length of each message perfectly translates to its costs. Sorry for all the inconvenience caused by this bug report!
I just wish we had some way to tell when messages get broken into multiple ones.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!!!

Title:
  High costs due to SMS being sent multiple times

Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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).
