What do you mean? My iPhone often falls back to SMS, even when the other party has an iPhone in a poor reception area.

I saw, with my own eyes, an IPhone upgrade to a new major IOS version and the SMS fallback setting turn off. The change may have been walked back, but I saw it myself, and had to fix it on dozens of phones.

I have sms fall back turned off and I can still send sms. All that check box does ask you if you want to send SMS if iMessage is unavailable instead of automatically sending SMS.
