iphone 4s problems w/ messages

HI - I've been using my iphone 4s for over a year, and it stopped sending IMs through "messages". Tried to delete old IM strings, but they keep popping back up. I've signed out of the account and signed back in; powering down; nothing seems to work.

Is there a way to delete the app and reinstall. Doesn't appear to be obvious.

HELP!!!

iPad, iOS 5.1

Hi monkey29,

If you are having trouble sending messages through iMessage, I would check out the relevant parts of this article for advice:

While there's no reinstall for a native app like Messages, you can definitely force it to close and see if that helps:
