I took that photo with an Android device. You may say that Anroid is not much better. That's why I'm still using Nokia's phone. They are just user friendlier in many ways. A Messaging-app in Ubuntu phone copies the idea from Android system with viewing sms messages as a chat. It is not always the way that users want to see the database. Yes, database of a message. Yahoo! mail gives a perfect solution: either You can get a new messages as a chat, connected to the older ones just as Android and Ubuntu devices do OR You can have Your old Inbox with every message shown as a single one. In second case You get the database of a messages not a database of users that sent You a message.
Now if You have a database, You will probably look for something in it. And these are message contents rather than users. At least in my case. It would be awesome to be able to switch between a chat view and a standard inbox with all messages as in an old Nokia or Yahoo! mail.

Title:
  App doesn't show the sms lenght

Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Some people can consider it as not important but I find it a bug
  because of the costs especially in roaming mode. The problem of the
  Ubuntu phone (unlike any other device starting from the ancient very
  first Nokia or Motorola phones) is that we don't see the length of the
  message that we write. Some people can say: "hey there are only a few
  cents difference nowadays! What's the difference between sending one
  sms message or two of them?". The answer to that question is very
  simple: try to take Your phone abroad. For example fly from Your home
  country as Poland, Germany, France etc. to RPA, Macedonia or such kind
  of countries where one single space between two words can save You a
  few dollars/euro for every single message. Let's say You have now
  badly send many of them? It makes a difference! If a message is to be
  send as a sms it does make a difference!
