iOS 8.1.2 on iPhone 4s - has bricked my 4s

I just upgraded to 8.1.2 on my iPhone 4S and now all my text messages have vanished, I can't send or receive text messages, and I can't make phone calls. What the ****? When I punch in a phone number or tap a contact in my favourites - nothing happens. I have switched it off and rebooted twice - still nothing. Help!

iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1.1

I'm back! I had to do a complete Factory Erase on the phone, and then restore from my latest iCloud backup - but everything is back to normal now. Phew! I think my 4S might know that I've snuck an iPhone 6 under the Xmas tree

Oddly, the exact same thing happened to a friend of mine with the 4S, but the Factory Erase and Reset fixed her problems, too.
