If you haven't yet, pull the battery for half a minute or more and put it back. See if that fixes things.

also check all of your message folders. go into the message icon, hit menu > view folders and go through all on there.

Under options, check your Service Book listings for a duplicate entry. If you find a duplicate, you can delete one.
