Please, implement in SMS settings the option costs saving.

What do you mean by "cost saving"?

[jluisfa]

Unfortunately, many special characters reduce the number of characters that can be sent in a single message. This then requires the use of two or more SMS messages to achieve the same message. Cost saving converts certain special characters into their more traditional forms in order to make it so that your 160 characters stay at 160.

That's normal, that's not up to the app but to the carrier network.

A prove to that is that you can download a different messaging app and, you'll see that you get the same "issue"

I have installed the Textra application and has the option costs saving. I would like the application of Sony also had this option.

Also, have you consider using Hangouts to send and receive SMS?

[jluisfa]

Hangouts not convert special characters to reduce costs. In the past the application of Sony had this option.

I haven't seen this option, how long ago was that? 

because it has been requested since the Xperia X10 to have similar options, like not to convert long SMS into MMS, but it hasn't been incorporated.
