Undoing rejection of withheld numbers

Hi,
I'm on TMobile and the phones involved are a Samsung S5200 and a Samsung Galaxy Mini.
While using the S5200 I got frustrated with a pest company and set the phone to reject calls from withheld numbers. Of course, all withheld numbers were then rejected, including legitimate ones I need to answer, so I tried to undo the reject facility.
On the S5200 the only option appears to be to reject and this does not change to accept if you go through the same process again (it is accessed through recent calls options for the call record).
I upgraded to a Galaxy Mini and hoped I'd have left the reject function behind, but it is still there so obviousy on my SIM now.
Does anyone know how I can undo the reject number function using either phone?
Thank you.

I don't think that this can be 'on sim'.0

Do you have any idea how it could have transferred from phone to phone? I'd assumed as the sim was the common denominator with both phones it would have been that. But I don't pretend to understand how mobile phone accounts work
I badly need to undo it somehow.0 -
AFAIK, some networks offer blocking withheld numbers.0

TMobile customer services were able to help.
In case anyone else needs to do this, the process was only possible on the S5200 and was as follows:
Menu
Settings
Application settings
call
All calls
Auto reject
Select Activation OFF
Job done.0
