Having data on son's phone on but locked so that Find my phone can still work

Hi, My son has a Samsung android phone with a pay as you go sim installed.
It has a minimum amount of data included and this is turned of so that he is not tempted to over use it. He uses WiFi when at home.
We want to use the Samsung "Find my phone "app in case he loses the phone but this relies on data to be turned on all the time.
My question is ,is there a way of having data on but locked so that my son cannot use it but it will still be available for find my phone.
Thanks
