Luckily, you have iTunes backup, so you can use iTunes app to recover iPhone messages from iTunes backup directly. This method can only recover your messages that have been synced to iTunes. The second method is to use a professional iPhone message recovery tool such as Joyoshare iPhone Data Recovery, which will help you get all your lost text messages as long as they're not been overwritten by the newer data. You can also use Joyoshare to recover messages from iTunes backup selectively. For more, please visit: Joyoshare iPhone Data Recovery for Mac

If you've backed up your iPhone to iTunes and the backup contains the message you need, then you can try using a backup extractor to extract the message from the backup. This is the best solution since if you restore your iPhone from the iTunes backup, your data will be overwritten by the old backup. If that's not a problem to you, then you can directly restore your iPhone from the backup. If you need a iPhone backup extractor, here's one I've been using for a long time. It's originally designed as a data recovery program for iOS device but you can also use it to extract files from your iTunes backup. Recover deleted data from iPhone iPad iPod touch effortlessly

If you are sure that the lost messages are in the iTunes backup and you don't mind losing the data generated after the backup, just restore the iPhone with iTunes.
If the iTunes backup is not the latest, and you don't want to lose current data on your iPhone, try to extract the messages from the backup using the iTunes backup extractor. Of course, if you have an iCloud backup, you can also use iCloud backup to restore the iPhone, or extract the messages from the iCloud backup with an iCloud backup extractor.
If cannot find the lost messages in the iTunes backup, you can still recover deleted messages from iPhone by scanning the device directly with the help of an iPhone data recovery software.

    2.Connect your iPhone to your computer. Use a USB plug to connect your iPhone to your computer. Make sure that your computer recognizes the new device before continuing.
    3.Send your iPhone into DFU Mode. DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode will completely shut your phone down and prepare it for a data restore.
    4.Scan your iPhone. Some data recovery programs will begin scanning your iPhone immediately.
    5.Select and recover deleted texts. The data recovery program on your computer should produce a list of deleted iPhone text messages found on your device. Select the checkbox next to each text you want to restore, and when done, click on the "Recover" button in the lower corner of the screen.

My Apple iPhone 3GS shuts down the phone every time I hang up on the phone.

Try backing up the phone in iTunes and then recover it to clean OS and then restore backup and see if that fixes it.
