Only if they're sent as iMessages - then they're not blocked, they're ignored, because only iPhones have software that's aware of what an iMessage is. (Apple won't license the format to anyone.) If they're sent as SMS from an iPhone to a Samsung phone, they'll work fine. (I just sat at supper, watching my daughter texting back and forth from an Android phone to her boyfreind, who's on an iPhone. [And, no, I'm not disciplining a 40 year old woman in front of her teen-aged sons - they know they're not allowed to have turned-on phones at the table - and her boyfriend is on a job a few hundred miles from here for another month or so.])
