Spamming Sms, Laggy Phone, IOS 5.0.1??

Question

So, down to the point;
I updated my Iphone software a little over two weeks ago i would say, since updating the Phone, my Sms alert does nothing but spam. It must ring out over 5 times in some cases, with my phone causing Lag.
I first noticed the issue when i was at college, my phone started doing it multiple times, then 3-4 times, until it is now doing it around 5-6 times.
Here's my problem
I'm so fed up, of having to read through the discussions, with so many of these issues to hear absolutely nothing back from Apple - this is totally unjustified considering how many people have this problem
The fact that, whenever i take up the time to update the software to apperently 'benefit' myself, i always come away with some sort of issue, which in most cases does not get sorted.
The fact that, one day it spammed so much my phone lagged everytime, and in fact froze for a significant amount of time that i felt turning it off would do the world of good; Tell me, if my phone breaks because of that, will you fix it?
Options
One of two things:
You can either: Turn your phone off and on, as soon as you notice the issue
OR..
You can go to settings > notifications > messages > Turn off "View in lock Screen.
Both Options are inconveniant for sure; So Apple, instead of me doing the research into how to solve the issue, can you please just sort it out.
On a higher note. I love this phone, and everything else about it. (and i only have the 3gS !!!)

You're not talking to Apple here. This is a user-to-user forum. The reason that you don't see reponses from Apple is because Apple doesn't participate here. If you want Apple Technical Support, you need to contact them directly.
You have a couple of options. You can attempt, with the help of other users here, to troubleshoot your phone. Or, you can take it to an Apple Store and have the folks at the Genius Bar see if they can help you out.
It's unclear from your post exactly what is happening. In one place, you appear to be saying that you are getting text spam. If you are getting unwanted texts, you need to contact your carrier about blocking options. If the proplem is something else, you need to give more details. Have you tried resetting your phone by pressing and holding the Home and power keys until the silver apple appears?
