Is anyone else having this issue. It worked fine after the text message caused my phone to reboot twice yesterday. This morning it died and it doesnt come on no matter how many times I press the home and power buttons. Please help!!!
iPhone 4S
Hi. See these articles:http://www.macrumors.com/2015/05/26/ios-bug-crashing-iphones-with-text-message/

Apple specialists are aware of this issue. Hope they will find the solution soon.
In your case if the phone does not turn on:
Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
If this does not help, take a look these Apple Support articles:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. You will need to have iTunes installed on this computer. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your iPhone. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

The message doesn't do ANYTHING ELSE but just respring your device, or in other words, restart your homescreen (Springboard). You might have another issue. Does your phone have battery juice? When you connect it to a computer, what does it show?
My iphone 5S stopped working after I received the test message bug yesterday.
