Help Problems with built-in blacklist

Hi, Happy New Year.

As a mistake, I put my girlfriend's number into the built-in blacklist.
I went into settings > call > call rejection > black list, I removed her number and now she can call me.

But the SMS are already blacklisted!

If I open the built-in app "Messages" I find a red flag with the number of "blacklisted" sms. Other sms apps, like GOSms or Pansi couldn't read them.
As I found around internet, I tried to put the SIM card into another phone: the incoming messages are delivered without problems, so it's a Galaxy S2 problem.
I couldn't find a way to manage the built-in sms blacklist :-(

Before I restore my smartphone from scratch...
Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
 
There is no built in SMS blacklist. Red flags are usually for messages that didn't send.

There IS a built in blacklist function in GoSMS however. Maybe you have it blacklisted there?

Thanks for you reply.
I tried to send a new sms from my girlfriend's number, in my S2 I can see it into Messages, with a red flag now displaying 12...
So the messages reached my S2, but they are blocked somewhere.
I can't open the thread, so I can't read the previous messages.

I actually use PansiSMS, it's lighter than GOSms.
I tried to install GOSms to read the "sandboxed" sms, I removed it.

Very annoying problem...

What are your 'Push message settings..' in your stock messaging app?

Receive push messages from network = FLAGGED (yes)
Load service = Always

I hope the translation in ok, I've done from italian.
I've never changed this settings.

I tell you that I can receive all other sms without problems, except from my girlfriend.

Is there a way to reset the phone without losing data?
Maybe this can help....
