If you have a recent backup you can restore that backup to get your text messages back.
Gotta be a bug, never happened in 4.2

Yet it isn't happening to millions of others who updated to 4.3. The problem is in your phone, caused by corruption of data/settings during the update process, not the iOS itself. You need to restore.

From how you mention this, stills sounds like an issue for Apple. Updating shouldn't cause considerable bugs like this.
Who cares if millions of others haven't had the problem. The problem is still there for a lot of people. Their data is lost, all the restoring in the world won't get it back.
Yet many other iPhone users who updated to 4.3 are experiencing issues they never had before. How do you answer that?

No one is saying it isn't. After all, updating the OS on a computers never causes any problems for anyone, right? Just tell Apple, not the other users here. Post it on the Feedback Page:

Huh? If they backed up before updating, as instructed and as common sense dictates with any programmable device, ALL the data is restorable. Do you have any clue how restoring works? Only when data on the device is corrupted and you have to restore as NEW (without a backup) is SOME (not ALL) data lost.
Yet if you do a forum search, the same exact issues have been reported after EVERY update since the original iPhone was released. A significant percentage of people with these problems turn out to have hardware issues or previous jailbreaks/unlocking.
The fundamental difference between this problem being a "bug" in the iOS version vs. a side effect of the updating process in a few phones, is that it's usually preventable with basic maintenance procedures and fixable with certain troubleshooting steps.

I just realize that problems are complex and take research, diagnosis, trying resolutions, etc.
