iMessage Won't Open on iPad 2 iOS 6.1.3

My 32GB Black Wi-Fi iPad 2 Running iOS 6.1.3 has been working fine until recently. My friend spammed me with messages on iMessage and now it won't open. I launch it and it crashes. I've tried a soft reboot, a hard reboot, and a "reset all settings." In Settings<General<Reset

The only think I haven't tried is restoring it with iTunes. I know how to do it and I've done it in the past, I just don't want to go through the hassle. Any suggestions?

Thanks

David

To fix this issue, go into the contacts app and choose to send a message to a random contact. Then the messages app will open. Delete the spam message that was causing the problem, and delete the blank message you chose to send to the random contact. This discussion is now closed.

Thanks,

Dave
