Bug Description
current build number: 409
device name: arale
channel: ubuntu-
A single SMS is charged several times while there is only 1 corresponding SMS in the messaging app.
On the report attach, several messages are charged up to 5 times. It's very similar to bug 1537735 although no one ever told me they received my SMS more than once.

This is probably due to using characters not included in the GSM 7-bit alphabet [1]. Which implies that UCS-2 is used to encode the messages. This limits size to 70 chars per SMS. If this is confirmed, the issue would be the UI not informing the user about extra SMS needed to send the message.
