Texts on iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1) randomly deleted; restoring iPhone results in error 3194; restoring from backup results in saying "Not enough space" even though I have 2GB of free space.

Yesterday, my texts were all there and it was working perfectly fine. Then all of a sudden, I pressed on Messages and all my texts were gone for some reason but they still appear in the Spotlight Search so I'm kinda convinced that they're not really deleted yet.

I tried restoring it but I got error 3194 and I tried restoring the backup but I got an error message saying that there wasn't enough space even though I have 2GB of free space. My iPhone is also not jailbroken and I do not wish to jailbreak it either.

Please, if anyone knows how to get them back. I have some really important texts :c

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.2
