Interesting, that option for SMS fallback has been on by default on my last 3 devices. I haven't upgraded to iOS 10 yet, though, since I'm preserving my jailbreak on 9.3.3. In any event, you obviously know how to make it work without data, and I'd expect any iOS user to know how to work around iMessage as needed. If you use a special device with a special service, you're bound to have to use what everyone else uses now and again.
