I had to turn off imessage on my sons iphone, will he still get texts from iphones?

I had to block some numbers from my sons iphone but later found out that he was still getting & sending texts to some & I found out that was because it was iphone to iphone so it went through imessage so the verizon website told me to turn off imessage on his phone…
so I did but will he still be able to send & receive texts from other iphones?
I took care of the blocking & turning imessage off… But we have iphones in our family & close friends & I need to know if he can still get their texts on his iphone still?

Since you blocked their numbers and turned off iMessage, your son shouldn't be able to receive texts from them anymore. As for texting family and friends, he will still get the text messages except that they won't be free (the texts will show up as green instead of blue). As long as your plan has texting in it, then you don't have to worry about any extra charges.
