This morning, my phone was updated, and now I can't text. I can receive incoming texts, but when I touch the text icon, a box with a spinning circle comes up that says "Please Wait". I've been waiting for 2 hours!

Have you restarted the phone since the update? If not, try that first.
Also, try taking out the battery (if it has one) for 15 seconds, what that does is reset the network connection in the phone. Try dialing *228 hit send then option 2, it forces the update to the nearest tower as well, hopefully those work. If not, try a Factory Reset after all of your data is backed up, and if it still has the problem, call Tech Support, first you'll reach Customer Service, but the number is 1-800-922-0204.
I had the same problem. Do this. Go to Settings>Apps>All>Messages>Force Stop
The "Please Wait" message should now be gone.
i would also clear out a lot of old text threads if you have a year's worth of texts on there.
